Why do weather satellites orbit closer to the earth than other types?

Those satellites be closer to earth than other satellites because then it can find out about earth's weather because if it's close to earth then it get in the way of weather so it can send message about the weather faster than others

When was PriceRunner first launched?

What are satellite waves?

The appropriate wording should be frequencies instead of waves. Satellites use many different frequencies to transmit and/or receive information. The way that these frequencies travel are by waves. as mention above there are many different kinds of frequencies/waves. Here is a short list:

  • Microwaves.
  • UHF
  • Gamma-Ray
  • Infrared
  • Ultra violet
  • X-rays

it is important to note that gamma/x rays expose humans to harmful radiation so i dont think there used, but n e way.

Can you use R 59 wire for a satellite dish?

You can use it, but it can (and often does) cause the receiver and/or the LNB on the sat dish to malfunction.

RG59 wire is not thick enough to carry 18 volts from the sat receiver box to the dish and will eventually cause one or possible both of them to fry from lack of proper voltage.

Again, you can use it, but buying proper coaxial (RG6) will be much cheaper in the long run.

What is frequency reuse in communications satellite?

A technique called frequency reuse allows satellites to communicate with a number of ground stations using the same frequency, by transmitting in narrow beams pointed toward each of the stations. Beam widths can be adjusted to cover areas - footprints - as large as the entire United States or as small as a state like Maryland. Two stations far enough apart can receive different messages transmitted on the same frequency. Satellite antennas have been designed to transmit several beams in different directions, using the same reflector.

How old is Halley's comet?

Halley's Comet, if it is a typical comet, was created during or shortly after the formation of the solar system, some 4.6 billion years ago. Although it may have originally had a very elliptical (long-period) orbit, the current (short-period) orbit may have been established between 10,000 and 200,000 years ago.

It has been observed from Earth since about 240 BC (about 2250 years) and last appeared in the inner solar system in February, 1986.
