Most moons orbiting the various planets of our solar system are considered "satellites" - more specifically, "natural satellites".
In addition, the more general use applies to the various space modules, etc., orbiting around the earth or around other planets of the solar system. As they are the result of human device, they are considered, "artificial Satellites". Sputnik 1, as the very first of these, acts as prime example.
What else can I help you with?
What are the different space satellites in the outer space?
there are many satellites in space.there are natural satellites and manmade satellites.For example,Earth"s natural satellite is the Moon.there are more than 3000 satellites in space!Some examples of their users are:weather forecast,communication from one place to another quickly.etc
Medium earth orbit satellites?
With large number of low-earth-orbit satellites and the geo-synchronous orbit stuffed full of communications satellites, there aren't all THAT many "medium" altitude satellites. But there are some. The GPS navigation satellites, for example, are in highly inclined 12-hour orbits, and an unknown number of military "spy" satellites are in that middle range.
What layer of the atmosphere is satellites located?
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
Which source of gravity is maintaining all four satellites around the earth?
Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
How many functional satellites orbit earth?
At present there are around 24-32 satellites orbiting in medium earth orbit(11,000 miles)more the satellites more accurate navigation is produced.
Examples of artificial satellites?
First was sputnik, but anything from the Direct TV and XM radio satellites and telecommunication, GPS to the International Space Station are artificial satellites in Earth Orbit. There are artificial satellites currently in orbit around other planets as well.
Two examples of geostationary satellites?
Meteosat..,syncom3
What are examples of artificial satellites and natural satellites?
Artificial- Global positioning satalites for GPS devices, Intelligence/Reconn. Satalites used by Governments, Google Earth's images were taken by Satalite Natural- The moon, cosmic debris, Saturn's rings
What are two examples of naturally occurring satellites?
The only one I know is moon.
What satellites travel pole to pole?
Satellites in polar orbits travel from the North Pole to the South Pole and back again with each orbit, providing global coverage. Some examples of satellites in polar orbit are the NOAA series of weather satellites, the Aqua and Terra Earth observation satellites, and the International Space Station.
What are ring satellites?
Ring satellites are small moons that orbit within the rings of a larger planet, such as Saturn. These moons help shape and maintain the structure of the rings through their gravitational interactions. Some well-known examples of ring satellites include Pan and Daphnis within Saturn's rings.
What are earth's artificial sateillites?
Artificial satellites orbiting Earth are man-made objects launched into space for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. They can be either in geostationary or low Earth orbit, and examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, GPS satellites, and communications satellites.
What are some examples or infrared rays?
A remote control,alarm systems,heat lamps, and satellites.
Name at least 3 examples of artificial satellite?
Hubble Space Telescope, International Space Station, Sputnik I.
What is a group of satellites called?
A group of satellites is commonly referred to as a "constellation." These satellites work together to provide various services such as communication, navigation, and Earth observation. Examples of well-known satellite constellations include the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Starlink constellation.
What satellites orbiting earth that receive radiotelevisionand telephone signals and then transmit them around the world?
The satellites that orbit Earth and facilitate the transmission of radio, television, and telephone signals are known as communication satellites. These include geostationary satellites, which remain fixed over a specific point on the Earth's surface, such as the Intelsat and SES satellites. They receive signals from ground stations, amplify them, and then retransmit them back to different locations on Earth, enabling global communication. Examples of specific satellites include the Astra and DirecTV satellites.
What are 2 examples of natural satellites?
The moon, and moons of the other planets (Titan, Europa, Ganymede, Phobos etc). But the planets themselves, even Earth is natural satellites to the Sun.
