What else can I help you with?
Is international space station closer to Earth than the weather satellites and GPS satellites in miles?
It depends on which satellite you are talking about. However YES, it is closer than any geostationary weather satellite and it is closer than any GPS satellites.
What is closer to earth polaris or the moon?
The Moon is closer to Earth than Polaris. The Moon is our planet's natural satellite, orbiting at an average distance of about 384,400 km, while Polaris is a star located about 433 light-years away from Earth, making it much farther.
What is a satillite called when it orbits the earth?
The definition of a satellite be it man made or natural is, a body that orbits the parent. The earth is a satellite of the sun, the moon is a satellite of the earth ans so are all the man made ones we put in space.
What is a natural satellite that revolves around earth?
The Moon is Earth's natural satellite.
How are satellite pictures of earth and other planets made and transmitted?
Satellite pictures are taken through the satellite and sent to Earth via satellite waves.
When two artificial satellite revolve around the earth the one's closer and the one's further. which one revolve the earth with higher speed?
The one that is closer will move at a higher speed. The same happens, for example, with planets revolving around the Sun - the planets closer to the Sun move faster.
What happens if a satellite slows down?
If a satellite slows down, it will start to move closer to Earth as gravity becomes more dominant. This can lead to its orbit decaying and potentially reentering the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, a slowdown could affect the satellite's ability to maintain its position for communication or observation purposes.
What happens as you get closer to the center of the earth?
As we get closer to the center of the earth, the gravity of earth increases and the heat too increases...thats what i think.
Why do satellite suddenlystop being visible in a clear night sky?
That happens when the satellite enters Earth's shadow.
Is international space station closer to Earth than the weather satellites and GPS satellites in miles?
It depends on which satellite you are talking about. However YES, it is closer than any geostationary weather satellite and it is closer than any GPS satellites.
What is an elliptical satellite?
An elliptical satellite is a type of satellite that orbits Earth in an elliptical path, meaning its distance from Earth varies throughout its orbit. This results in the satellite moving closer to and farther from Earth as it completes its orbit. Elliptical satellites are commonly used for applications like communication and remote sensing.
Does a satellite circle the Earth or does Earth circle a satellite?
Technically, the Earth and any satellite both circle their mutual center of mass. Just like the balancing of an adult and a child on a see-saw, since the earth's mass is several times the mass of the satellite, their common center of mass is closer to the earth's center than it is to the satellite. Even in the case of the moon, the pair's common center of mass is inside the earth. In the case of any man-made artificial satellite, the mass ratio is several gazillion, and the common center of mass can't be more than a hair's breadth from the earth's center. So for any satellite, including the moon, it looks exactly as if the satellite is circling the earth.
What is closer to earth polaris or the moon?
The Moon is closer to Earth than Polaris. The Moon is our planet's natural satellite, orbiting at an average distance of about 384,400 km, while Polaris is a star located about 433 light-years away from Earth, making it much farther.
What happens to the temperature as you travel closer to the center of the earth?
It gets hotter
What happens to the earth orbit speed as it gets closer to the sun?
It increases.
Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?
LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
What happens when any object is dropped from a satellite?
When an object is dropped from a satellite in orbit around Earth, it will continue orbiting Earth at the same speed and direction as the satellite. From the perspective of someone on the satellite, the object will appear to float next to them due to being in free fall. However, once the object encounters Earth's atmosphere, it will experience drag and eventually fall towards Earth.
