How can you see the earth from a satellite?
Viewing earth from a satelite can be accomplised online on websites that provide and allow access to Satelite views. Certain websites online provide an amazing outlook from and around earth. These websites are generally free and offer great outlooks such as real views, informations and maps as well as an earth view via satelite.
Why is John Glenn famous for?
John Glenn is famous for being the first American to orbit the Earth as part of the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission in 1962. He was a military pilot, astronaut, and senator, and his pioneering spaceflight solidified his place in history as a space exploration pioneer.
Is the moon in the low earth orbit?
Low earth orbit is generally defined as orbiting the Earth at between 200 and 2,000 kilometers (124 to 1240 miles) above the Earth's surface.Below 200km, the gravity of the Earth causes the orbit of any object to decay quite quickly. Above 2,000km is the Van Allen radiation belt - a strip of energetic charged particles held in place by the Earth's magnetic field. The radiation discharged by these particles can cause damage to electrical circuits on satellites and other space vehicles - for example, the Hubble Space Telescope usually has its instruments turned off if it has to pass through this region of radiation. So satellites and manned orbital vehicles tend to orbit below 2,000km. For further information on the Van Allen belt, please read the Related Links below.
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
Where is sputnick 1 from?
it is a satelite that change the view of america..it orbit the earth cirfrunrance
What are the essential condition the for geostationay satellite?
Because of the inverse square law of gravity, an object close to the Earth's surface feels a greater pull than an object further away. This would mean an artificial satelite in an orbit near Earth would have to travel faster to remain in orbit. One further away would travel slower. Close to the earth, a satelite might complete an orbit in, for example, 90 minutes; but the earth rotates once on its axis in 24 hours. This would mean the satelite would always have to travel faster than the Earth spins. Too far away, and the satelite would take longer than a day to orbit the Earth - so the planet would spin faster than the satelite's orbit. For a geostationary satelite, it would need to be at just the right distance, in an orbit that keeps it at the same place as seen from the rotating Earth - orbiting as fast as the Earth is spinning. Geostationary satelites get parked a little over 22,200 miles above the Earth's surface and in orbits the same direction as the Earth spins - and are thus useful for communication and weather functions.
What force keeps a satelite in orbit?
Gravity
Why doesn't the moon crash into the earth?
The moon doesn't crash into the Earth because of its orbit and the gravitational pull between the two objects. The moon's speed and distance from the Earth keep it in a stable orbit, preventing a collision.
Do you say that pictures of mothership and UFO taken by the issn satelaite in the orbit of earth and near the issn so nasa closed it down and not real?
do you say that pictures taken of UFO mother-ship in the orbit of earth taken by the satilite ISS and als at the ISS satelite so NASA clesed down the satelite are not real
Why doesn't the moon crash into Earth?
The moon doesn't crash into Earth because of its orbit and the balance of gravitational forces between the two objects. The moon's speed and distance from Earth keep it in a stable orbit, preventing a collision.
What is a geosintric satellite?
A geosintric satelite is a satelite who's orbetal track on the earth repeats regularly over the earth equator. But techiquely if the satelite lies over the equator its called a geostationary satelite but a geosintric satelite is a type of geostationary satelite.
Effect of earth gravity on saterlite?
A continuous acceleration toward the center of the Earth equal to GM/R2 where G is the Gravitational Constant, M the mass of the Earth and R the distance between the satelite and the center of the Earth. If you multiply this by the mass of the sattelite itself, you get the force acting on the satelite to produce the acceleration. It is this force, causing this acceleration, which holds the satelite in orbit. Without it the satelite would obey Newton's first law of motion and just move out in a straight line. Note that this is true of any object orbiting any thing, whether it is an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, a planet or spacecraft orbiting the Sun, or a star orbiting the center of the galaxy.
What do you call the farthest point satelite?
The farthest point a satellite in orbit around the Earth can be from the Earth is called apogee. This is the point in the orbit where the satellite is the farthest from Earth.
Does a satleite circle the Earth or does Earth circle a satleite?
A satelite circles earth. A satelite includes the moon, or man made satelites
Where is Halley's comet going to crash?
A Comet is a body in perpetual orbit. A Meteorite is a body which enters the Earth's atmosphere. It is unlikely that Halley's Comet will ever crash into the Earth.
Is the earth a satelite?
The Earth is one of the Sun's satellites.
