What else can I help you with?
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.
In the distant future...what will move synchronized with the Moon's orbit?
Earth's rotation should eventually be synchronized with the Moon's orbit.
What satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
Its called a geostationary satellite. Its quite far out, meaning its 24 hour orbit is quite long when compared with satellites closer in to earth. Is appears stationary in our skies, in the same spot throughout its orbit. This makes it a lot easier to track, a fixed dish can be used.
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
A geostationary orbit is when a satellite orbits at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, allowing it to remain fixed above a specific point on the Earth's equator. This type of orbit is often used for communication satellites because they can maintain a constant connection with a specific location on Earth.
How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?
A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.
What is satellite swath?
The area of the earth which is imaged during a satellite orbit is referred to as the satellite swath and can range in width from ten to hundreds ofkilometers. As the satellite orbits the earth a different area is covered due to the earth's rotation. The elevation of the satellite orbit is designed so that the same location will be retraced (imaged) in a period of several weeks.
Why do you always see the same hemisphere of the moon?
Because the moon doesn't spin on its axis's [doesn't have one] it is just a satellite around earth.
How do you place a satellite in earth orbit around sun?
It would need to be launched into a tangent plane parellel to that of the earth's orbit around the sun, with the same speed of rotation around the sun
What is path satellite takes around earth?
Satellites typically orbit Earth in elliptical or circular paths. The specific path depends on the satellite's purpose and altitude. Low Earth orbit satellites circle the Earth more quickly, while geostationary satellites orbit at the same rate as the Earth's rotation, appearing to stay stationary in the sky.
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
Why does it take 24 hours for a communications satellite to orbit Earth?
They take 24 hours to orbit earth so they will always be in the same place in the sky. This makes it easier for setting up satellite dishes for example, since they have to be pointed toward the satellite.
