SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites can be polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously), or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator).

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is a Weather Satellite? A weather satellite is a man-made satellite that orbits the Earth and gives us information about the weather. Powerful rockets take these satellites into orbit.

Detailed explanation-3: -GOES-16 observes Earth from an equatorial view approximately 22, 300 miles high, creating full disk images like these, extending from the coast of West Africa, to Guam, and everything in between.

Detailed explanation-4: -(Grades K-4) series. A satellite is an object that moves around a larger object. Earth is a satellite because it moves around the sun. The moon is a satellite because it moves around Earth. Earth and the moon are called “natural” satellites.

Detailed explanation-5: -Artificial satellites are man-made satellites which revolve around the Earth. They are used for weather forecasting, navigation and communication.

Detailed explanation-6: -A satellite is a moon, planet or machine that orbits a planet or star. For example, Earth is a satellite because it orbits the sun. Likewise, the moon is a satellite because it orbits Earth. Usually, the word “satellite” refers to a machine that is launched into space and moves around Earth or another body in space.

Detailed explanation-7: -A man-made satellite is a machine that is launched into space and orbits around a body in space. Examples of man-made satellites include the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station.
