Artificial and natural satellites.

Artificial satellites are man-made satellites sent into space for a variety of different purposes e.g. taking pictures of the earth for scientific investigation

Natural satellites are moons, which orbit planets and are not man-made.

What devices need satellites in geostationary orbits?

Devices such as telecommunications satellites, weather satellites, and broadcasting satellites rely on geostationary orbits to provide continuous coverage over a specific region on Earth. This allows for consistent and reliable communication, weather monitoring, and broadcasting services.


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.


Are the orbits of natural and artificial satellites elliptical?

Yes, both natural and artificial satellites typically have elliptical orbits. These orbits are determined by the gravitational pull of the body they are orbiting, with the shape of the ellipse varying depending on the eccentricity of the orbit.


How many orbits in one day?

The number of orbits an object completes in one day depends on its distance from the Earth. For example, the International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth approximately every 90 minutes, allowing it to complete around 16 orbits in a 24-hour period. In contrast, satellites in higher orbits, like geostationary satellites, do not orbit the Earth in the same way, as they remain fixed relative to a point on the Earth's surface.


What orbits a planet and its not a moon?

An object which orbits a planet is generically called a satellite. The moon is a satellite, but so are artificial satellites, and occasionally asteroids and space junk.
