Answer 2

Examples Of Satellites

Answer 3

man made of natural?

Planets lets not forget the planets in our solar system are sattelites around the sun. An example the Earth is a sattelite of the sun.

Moons are large rocky bodies that are in a defined obrit with a planet. Examples are our moon and Io.

Comets are small bodies composed of dust and ice that travel through the solar system as they approach closer to the sun, the suns energy causes the surface to melt creating the distinctive tail. They are in a obrit aroubnd the sun and can also be considered a sattellite. An Example is Haleys coment which obrits the sun once every 76 years.

Asteroids also called "minor planets" are large chunks of rock that orbit the sun. An example would be Ceres, but with so many asteroids now being discovered they are using a numbering scheme for all new disceveries.

Geostationary Sattelites, are man made satellies that are put into a "parking orbit" which means they orbit the earth at the same speed the earth rotates so that they are always in the same location relative to the earths surface. Think direct TV and GPS sattelites.

Other man-made sattelites, they are literally thousands of other man-made sattelites in various orbits that "move" relative to the earths surface. The international space station is just one of these.

Answer 4

The moons of planets like Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are one tyep of sattelite.

Those same planets are another type of satellite around the sun.

The solitary planets Mercury and Venus are another type of satellite around the sun.

The planet earth and its binary companion that we call the moon is yet another type of satellite, a binary satellite

The varous belts of asteroids are yet more examples of satellites around the sun.

Out in the rest of the galaxy and in other galaxies, there are examples of dwarf stars in orbit around gigantic larger stars, making the dwarf star a satellite, not to be confused with binary or trinary star systems where the stars actually orbit around an invisible point somewhere between them, like our moon and the earth.

If your question is about earth's artificial satellites, there are satellites whose entire purpose is for communication, like the more than a hundred geostationary satellites for satellite TV, and some whose main purpose are for taking photos of the earth's surface, and its atmosphere for tracking weather activity and for finding certain kinds of vegetation, and some whose entire purpose is taking infrared photos of the surface to get a glimpse of what might be below the earth's surface, and satellites equipped with radar for the exact same purpose. One satellite called the Hubbel Space Telescope is eactly that, a gigantic reflective telescope that sends the signal of what it sees when pointed away fromn earth back to earth to be rendered into useful data. And another is the international space station.

Answer 5

The radius of a satellite does not stay the same as it orbits the earth. Its orbit most closely models an ellipse and not a circle. The problems and concepts that they teach you in physics textbooks often assume things to be constant(when they never are) and also neglect other forces than the objects within the system.

Answer 6

Man made is weather satellites and communication ,also observatory cameras to give us very clear pictures of out there.

Answer 7

By country of origin.

Answer 8

Well there's MEDIA , YOUR TV DIGITAL.
SPY,THAT ONE KEEPS TRACK OF ANY
THREATS. WEATHER TRACKERS.
Private kind((for rich people )
Medical, military, many more.
WE HAVE A SATELLITE HEADED INTO DEEP
SPACE.

Answer 9

natural=moon
man-made=metal
