The definition of a satellite is an object that orbits a planet. Therefore by definition, the sun cannot be a satellite. The solar system does, however, travel around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
the moon is not a planet. The moon is a natural satelite that orbits the earth. It has no light but it will emit the sun's light at night.
A continuous acceleration toward the center of the Earth equal to GM/R2 where G is the Gravitational Constant, M the mass of the Earth and R the distance between the satelite and the center of the Earth. If you multiply this by the mass of the sattelite itself, you get the force acting on the satelite to produce the acceleration. It is this force, causing this acceleration, which holds the satelite in orbit. Without it the satelite would obey Newton's first law of motion and just move out in a straight line. Note that this is true of any object orbiting any thing, whether it is an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, a planet or spacecraft orbiting the Sun, or a star orbiting the center of the galaxy.
Jupiter has more natural satellites than any other known world.
Solar PointI don't know. I know what the subsolar point is, it's the point in a orbit (of an object around a planet) where the sun is as close to overhead as it can get. Am I close? if this is true then the solar point would most likely be noon on earth. or at scale (since he said a satelite to the sun) it could be when the center of the galaxy is closest to overhead earth of course that could be the galactic point. im not really sure either.
Because of the inverse square law of gravity, an object close to the Earth's surface feels a greater pull than an object further away. This would mean an artificial satelite in an orbit near Earth would have to travel faster to remain in orbit. One further away would travel slower. Close to the earth, a satelite might complete an orbit in, for example, 90 minutes; but the earth rotates once on its axis in 24 hours. This would mean the satelite would always have to travel faster than the Earth spins. Too far away, and the satelite would take longer than a day to orbit the Earth - so the planet would spin faster than the satelite's orbit. For a geostationary satelite, it would need to be at just the right distance, in an orbit that keeps it at the same place as seen from the rotating Earth - orbiting as fast as the Earth is spinning. Geostationary satelites get parked a little over 22,200 miles above the Earth's surface and in orbits the same direction as the Earth spins - and are thus useful for communication and weather functions.
The Earth is one of the Sun's satellites.
The moon is indeed a satelite, however it is not a satelite of the Earth but rather the sun. The moon fails the primary requirement to be considered a satelite of the Earth. The moon's mass is affected more by the gravitational pull of the sun than that of the Earth's. The Earth and Luna are a dual planetary system, circling each other.
A geosintric satelite is a satelite who's orbetal track on the earth repeats regularly over the earth equator. But techiquely if the satelite lies over the equator its called a geostationary satelite but a geosintric satelite is a type of geostationary satelite.
A satelite that orbits between the two poles.
I thinks its a satelite made my humans
From Thao: to make a satelite cross rockets with void.
No.
Last year, though it is not called a "satelite", but a "probe" instead.
it does not have one
