LEO (Low-Earth-Orbit)-100 to 1000 miles out

• Used for wireless e-mail, special mobile telephones, pagers, spying, videoconferencing

MEO (Middle-Earth-Orbit)-1000 to 22,300 miles

• Used for GPS (global positioning systems) and government

GEO (Geosynchronous-Earth-Orbit)-22,300 miles

• Always over the same position on earth (and always over the equator)

• Used for weather, television, government operations

HEO (Highly Elliptical Earth orbit)-satellite follows an elliptical orbit

• Used by the military for spying and by scientific organizations for photographing celestial bodies

What are four properties of a planet?

Four properties of a planet are: 1) Orbits around a star; 2) Has sufficient mass for self-gravity to form a nearly round shape; 3) Has cleared its orbit of other debris; 4) Is not a satellite of another body.


State four requirements needed to be considered a planet?

To be considered a planet, an object must orbit the Sun, be spherical in shape due to its gravity, and have cleared its orbit of other debris. It should also not be a satellite of another object.


What were the four principles of the bohr model?

The four principles of the Bohr model are: electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels or shells, electrons can jump between different energy levels by either absorbing or emitting photons, angular momentum of electrons is quantized, and the frequency of emitted or absorbed light is directly related to the energy difference between electron levels.


What is a natural satelite?

Technically, the moon (Luna) is the only "natural" satellite of the Earth (Terra). That is because it is the only one that was not put into orbit deliberately by sentient beings. If asteroids are retrieved from the asteroid belt and sent into orbit around the Earth (as is currently being planned by NASA), they would still not be considered "natural" sattelites. Only if a meteor is captured by the Earth's gravitational force and goes into a stable orbit (most unlikely) without having had its normal orbit altered, would it be considered "natural".
