What else can I help you with?
From earth one satellite appears to overtake another the faster satellite is?
The faster satellite appears to overtake another satellite when observed from Earth. This is because the faster satellite covers a greater distance in the same amount of time, causing it to catch up to and pass the slower satellite.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
What is satellite orbital spacing?
Satellite orbital spacing refers to the distance between different satellites in orbit around the Earth. This spacing is carefully planned to prevent collisions and to optimize coverage, communication, and other functions of the satellite network. Satellite operators coordinate with each other and regulatory bodies to ensure safe and efficient use of orbital space.
What is the man-made object that circles the earth and make different ways of long distance communication possible?
Something that orbits a planet is a satellite.
Is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth?
One "Astronomical Unit" is (more or less) the average distance between the Sun and Earth.
Doubling the distance between an orbiting satellite and the earth will result in what change in the gravitational attraction between the two?
One Fourth as muchNote:When you talk about gravitational forces, the "distance" you're working withis the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. That's about4,000 miles more than its altitude above the surface.
What is a sentence for the word apogee?
Apogee is the farthest distance between the moon (or a satellite) in its orbit around earth.
Is satellite is between the moon and earth?
yes satellite is between moon and earth. moon can see a satellite only for ten hours in a day
Which force attaracts satellite towards the earth?
The force of gravity, between Earth and the satellite.
What is the distance of the center of the earth to a Geostationary satellite?
42300 km
What is slant range in satellite communication?
Slant range is the LOS (line of site ) distance between the earth station and the satellite and it is very important in satellite link calculation .For instance to calculate the pathloss slant range would be used.Furthermore slant range is a means to describe the satellite location above the surface of the earth.
What happens to the laser light when it reaches the satellite in the ranging system?
When the laser light reaches the satellite in a ranging system, part of the light is reflected back towards the Earth. By measuring the time it takes for the light to travel to the satellite and back, the distance between the Earth station and the satellite can be calculated with high precision. This helps in monitoring the satellite's position and orbit.
Is the moon the largest satellite of earth?
The moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth and so is the largest.
How is information sent between earth and satellite?
information is sent between earth and satellite because the satellite people can live and work for long periods an then information launches threw space
When does apogee occurs?
Apogee is a place, not en event. Apogee is the point in the orbit of an Earth satellite at which the satellite is farthest from the Earth. (Since all closed gravitational orbits are ellipses rather than circles, the distance between the orbiting bodies changes.)
A satellite is at an altitude of one of earth radius. How does the gravitational force on the satellite compare to the force if it were on the surface of earth?
Since the distance from the Earth's center is doubled, the force will be reduced by a factor of 4.
Draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around Earth is the satellite accelerating?
WikiAnswers cannot support diagrams - sorry. A satellite around the Earth will have an elliptical or (in some cases) a circular orbit. The satellite is constantly accelerating towards the Earth due to the gravity between the Earth and the satellite. However, because of the satellite's tangential velocity, it stays at a relatively constant distance from the Earth.
