19. Satellites Path followed by satellite Path followed if gravity switched off Pull of gravity Earth
20. Useful orbits There are TWO main orbits that are useful called POLAR and EQUATORIAL . POLAR -The orbit is close to the Earth, only just above the atmosphere. With a good camera you can see the headlines on a newspaper!
21. Because the Earth spins the satellite will ‘see’ every part of the Earth once every 24 hours . This orbit is used for spy and weather satellites. Polar orbits
22. Equatorial orbits At the right distance the satellite will take 24 hours to orbit the Earth. Because the Earth is also spinning once each 24 hours the satellite stays above the same place on the Earth all the time. We call this a GEOSTATIONARY orbit. This orbit is used for communication satellites, like Sky TV.
