Satellites - Page 2

Satellites are celestial objects that orbit a planet or another body in space. In the context of Earth, they can be natural, like the Moon, or artificial, such as those launched by humans for various purposes. Artificial satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring, navigation, scientific research, and Earth observation. They operate in different orbits, including geostationary, polar, and low Earth orbits, depending on their functions and requirements. Satellites play a crucial role in modern technology, facilitating global communications, GPS navigation, and gathering data about the environment and climate.
