Artificial Satellite- Geostationary,Polar- How are Satellites Launched?
The satellites classified into two types man-made (artificial satellite) and natural satellite. Here our main objective to discuss the artificial satellite, types, and how are satellite launch. What is Artificial Satellite? An artificial satellite is a man-made object orbiting around the earth. Artificial satellites are of two types namely: geostationary satellites and polar satellites let us now learn about the launching of artificial satellites and different types of satellites in detail. Geostationary Satellites Geostationary satellites are those satellites whose period of revolution around the earth is equal to the period of rotation of the earth. These satellites appear to be stationary as they revolve around the earth from west to east. The period of revolution of the satellite is equal to the period of rotation of the earth. They revolve in the equatorial plane the orbits followed by geostationary satellites are called geostationary orbits or parking orbits. ...
