Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
A satellite orbiting around the Earth's poles is in a polar orbit. This type of orbit allows the satellite to pass over different parts of the Earth as it rotates below. Polar orbits are often used for Earth observation and surveillance satellites.
What is the difference between sun synchronous polar orbit and a synchronous polar orbit?
A synchronous polar orbit satallite crosses the equator at the same time each day while the sun synchronous polar satellite appears in the sky at the same time every few days. the sun synchronous allow for greater temporal and spatial monitoring under same conditions and also have finer resolution as the polar synchronous imagery is at the continental scale.
Is the ISS a geostationary orbit or a polar orbit?
Neither. A polar orbit means that the station orbits at an inclination of about 90 degrees North (or South). This can occur at any reasonable altitude (apogee or perigee), typically around 250 and 350 miles. A geostationary orbit MUST have an inclination of 0 degrees--above the equator; AND have an apogee/perigee between 22,000--23,000 miles. The ISS was built and intended to be visited by the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle was incapable of orbiting higher than 500 miles. So if the ISS were in a geosynchronous orbit, the Shuttle could never have reached it. One of the disadvantages of a polar orbit is that one loses the velocity benefit of Earth's Eastward rotation. It takes extra fuel to place the same payload at the same altitude in a polar orbit, versus a typical Eastward orbit. The ISS is in a Low-Earth orbit with an apogee/perigee of about 250 miles, and an inclination of about 57 degrees.
What orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe?
A geostationary orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe as it orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates. This means the satellite remains fixed above the same point on the equator, providing continuous coverage of that area.
What are some uses of satellites orbiting the earth?
The difference is in the tilt of the plane of the orbit relative to the Earth's equator, which is zero for geostationary and 90 degrees for polar-orbit.
What is the polar orbit used for and why?
A polar orbit is used for Earth observation satellites and weather satellites because it covers the entire surface of the Earth. It allows these satellites to pass over both the North and South Poles, providing global coverage of the planet.

What is polar orbit and geo-stationary orbit?
A satellite in polar orbit passes over the poles.A geosynchronous orbit follows the equator and at such an altitude its orbital period is one day long and remains in the same position relative to the ground.
What is the difference between sun synchronous polar orbit and a synchronous polar orbit?
A synchronous polar orbit satallite crosses the equator at the same time each day while the sun synchronous polar satellite appears in the sky at the same time every few days. the sun synchronous allow for greater temporal and spatial monitoring under same conditions and also have finer resolution as the polar synchronous imagery is at the continental scale.
List of polar or non-polar formulas?
Polar Molecules:· Water (H20): it is planar triangular, and the electrons orbit more around the O than the 2 H's· Nitrogen Hydroxide (NH3): Planar triangular, electrons orbit more around the N that the Hydrogen· Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): Planar triangular, electrons orbit more around Sulfur than the oxygen.· Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): Planar triangular, electrons orbit more around Hydrogen than sulfur.· Bromine Trichloride (BCl3): planar triangular, electrons orbit more around Bromine.Non Polar Molecules:· Dihydrogen (H2): Linear and electrons orbit evenly · Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Linear, equal orbit· Carbon Monoxide (CO): linear, equal distribution·
What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?
The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)
How many times does polar satellites orbit the earth?
As many times as necessary in order to get the ground map. I am no expert but one orbit from north to south (since this is polar) must depend on the impulse provided by the final kick to put it into polar orbit. TLDR is varies (I believe this is referred to as it's period) try examining various polar sats on file at wiki to see if this is correct. I to would like to know!
Which polar launch vehicle put chandrayaan-1into orbit?
PSLV-C11
Why a polar orbit is not suitable for satellite television?
it is too cold and there is no power lines to get signal
Why are there places on earth that experience polar days and polar nights?
i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)
Which orbit would be best for investigating the Arctic and Antarctic?
If the satellite is in an orbit that takes it over the North and South Poles, it will eventually cover all parts of the Earth as the Earth spins beneath it. This kind of orbit is called a polar orbit.
