Most of these satellites are representative of an entire class of satellites.
What is earth known satellites.
Reconnaissance satellites are earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications.
The planet earth upon which we live has precisely one natural satellite which is known as the moon or luna and it has a great many artificial satellites including the international space.
Although no other moons of earth have been found to date there are various types of near earth objects in 1 1 resonance with it which are known as quasi satellites quasi satellites orbit the sun from the same distance as a planet rather than the planet itself.
Natural satellites are celestial bodies that orbit something.
Earth s gravity then causes the satellites to speed up.
Noaa 18 known before launch as noaa n is a weather forecasting satellite run by noaa.
Terra eos am 1 is a multi national nasa scientific research satellite in a sun synchronous orbit around the earth.
It is a natural satellite.
Very little is known about the full power of these satellites as governments who operate them usually keep information pertaining to their reconnaissance satellites classified.
Bodies which orbit planets are called moons.
Yes earth is a satellite.
The ones you may be referring to are artificial satellites.
The smaller body is held in orbit by gravitation the term is used for moons which go around planets and it is also used for small galaxies which orbit larger galaxies.
A satellite is a moon planet or machine that orbits a planet or star.
Though satellites in low earth orbit travel through the uppermost thinnest layers of the atmosphere air resistance is still strong enough to tug at them pulling them closer to the earth.
There may be others that serve similar functions but the satellites listed are exemplars.
The earth has only one moon some other planets have many moons and some have.
In a more symbolic answ.
They vary in size.
Therefore the earth is a satellite of the sun.
Artificial satellites from earth have only populated space since 1957 but there are now hundreds of thousands of objects from our planet in orbit.
