Satellites are objects that orbit around a larger celestial body, typically a planet or a moon. They can be natural, such as moons that orbit planets (e.g., Earth’s Moon), or artificial, which are man-made devices launched into orbit for various purposes. Artificial satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring, navigation, earth observation, scientific research, and military applications. The orbits of satellites can vary in altitude, shape, and inclination, depending on their intended function and mission objectives. Generally, satellites are positioned in either geostationary, low Earth, or polar orbits. The study and use of satellites play a crucial role in modern technology and understanding of our universe.
