How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
Why geostationary satellite not falling to ground?
Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.
What is a landsat satellite?
A satellite that observes Earth's surface.
What is the term that describes the curved surface of the earth transferred to a flat surface?
nelcomous (its a term in greek which is a term described the curved surface of the earth transferred to a flat surface.) Nelcomous
Would a shadow cast on Earth be straight or curved?
Well, if you had a shadow cast on earth, it would appear curved because the of the Earth's surface is curved
What are various satellite sub-systems?
how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface
The curved path that a satellite follows is a?
The curved path that a satellite follows is called an orbit. This orbit is typically elliptical in shape and allows the satellite to remain in constant motion around the celestial body it is orbiting, such as the Earth.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
Moving information from a curved surface to a flat surface causes?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
What is a flat representation of earth's curved surface called?
A map.
What is the earth surface where a satellite signal can be received?
Footprint
How many does a curved surface does a square pyramid have?
One surface, if one surface is flush with the curvature of the earth's surface.
