If the speed of a satelite orbiting earth were to decrease, it's orbit would come closer to the earth, and eventually it would fall to the Earth. Space administratioins(like NASA) use calculus and whatever fancy term thay use for their math to try and make it land in a safe place. On the other hand, if it were to increase in speed, it would eventually leave Earth's orbit.
That depends what exactly you mean with "slows down"... Please note that if some force tries to slow the satellite down, by pushing it backward - a good example would be air resistance, in the upper atmosphere - the satellite would actually end up moving faster! It will still lose energy, since it will be in a lower orbit (the loss of potential energy would be greater than the gain of kinetic energy).So, if you really want to slow the satellite down, you would have to push it FORWARDS; that would get it into a higher orbit, where it would also move more slowly.
It drops closer to the Earth.
its gravity
The sine wave represents 360 degrees or a full circle. As the satellite revolves 360 degrees around the earth in its orbit this is how it is represented on a flat surface.
The Earth orbits around the Sun; it takes one year for an orbit.The Earth orbits around the Sun; it takes one year for an orbit.The Earth orbits around the Sun; it takes one year for an orbit.The Earth orbits around the Sun; it takes one year for an orbit.
You can use Kepler's Third Law to calculate this.
NO!
A polar orbit (as opposed to an equatorial orbit) passes over the poles, north and south. A low orbit is relatively close to the Earth (or other object being orbited), it might be a few hundred miles up.
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
A satellite is any object that is in orbit around another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the Earth because it orbits around the Earth.
The moon IS a satellite that orbits earth
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
no its funny. moon is a natural satellite to revolve around earth
this is because, the moon orbits the earth and goes around is.
Here is an example sentence with the word "satellite":The moon is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
Here is an example sentence with the word "satellite":The moon is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
The earth is a planet. An earth satellite is an artificial satellite that orbits the earth A geostationary satellite is an earth satellite that orbits at a height (approximately 22,000 miles) precisely determined to ensure that the satellite remains over the same spot on the earth's surface at all times, thus appearing from the earth to be stationary in the sky.
Because it only orbits around our planet.
