Category: Satellite

A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or other celestial body in space. In a broader context, it can refer to natural satellites, such as moons, which are formed through natural processes and orbit planets, or artificial satellites, which are human-made devices launched into orbit for various purposes. These purposes include communication, weather monitoring, navigation, scientific research, and Earth observation. Satellites are typically placed in specific orbits—geostationary, polar, or low Earth orbit—depending on their intended function. They play a critical role in modern technology and infrastructure, enabling services such as television broadcasting, internet connectivity, and GPS navigation.
