The Earth's spin creates a dynamic environment for satellites, influencing their orbital paths and the data they collect. Polar-orbiting satellites travel over the poles as the Earth rotates beneath them, allowing them to cover the entire surface over time. This alignment enables continuous monitoring of changes in the Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans, providing critical data for weather forecasting, climate research, and environmental monitoring. The combination of the Earth's rotation and the satellite's orbit maximizes coverage and data collection efficiency.

Satellites are launched into space to provide various services such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, remote sensing, and scientific research. They orbit the Earth, making it possible to gather and transmit data across large distances, benefiting sectors like telecommunications, security, transportation, and environmental monitoring.
Scientists use satellites to view Earth's surface because they provide a wide coverage area, allow for consistent monitoring over time, and have the ability to capture data in different wavelengths that are not easily accessible from the ground. This data is crucial for understanding Earth's processes, monitoring changes over time, and making informed decisions regarding environmental issues.
remote sensing satellites develop highly detailed and accurate maps on earths surface.
Satellites are launched in east direction to use earths rotational velocity and to reduce launch energy.
g
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
It is the Picture of the Earth taken at different angles from the orbiting satellites.
Sutnick was the very first Satellite that was put into orbit.=)
They are, but are held in Earth's orbit because of their much closer position to the Earth.
