what are the two similarities between natural and artificial satellites
Answers
hey guy here is your answer
Answer:::::》
Artificial and natural satellites are the same as far as what makes them satellites. You can put your toothbrush into orbit if you give it enough velocity.
So, the only thing that makes an artificial satellite different from a natural satellite is how it got its velocity.
The moon is a satellite of the Earth, nobody knows exactly what cataclysmic event gave the moon its momentum but there are theories that involve a small planet colliding with the earth and in the aftermath the debris cast off swirled around due to gravitational effects over eons creating the moon. Whatever the source of the moon might have been, something put it into motion relative to the Earth which made it a satellite.
In reality anything you throw into the air is a satellite for a short period of time. A baseball hurled from one player to another player follows a ballistic curve which is partially an orbital trajectory heavily affected by the atmospheres drag.
If you threw a baseball on a planet with no atmosphere it would follow a ballistic curve which is a partial orbit. It’s just an orbit that is too slow and too close to the massive body of the planet to remain in orbit very long.
So, on that same planet without any atmosphere you have a special cannon to fire the baseball at a very high velocity. If the velocity you gave the baseball was sufficient, the baseball would orbit the planet, could even get into an orbit that would continue for awhile.
If you had a super-powerful gun and fired a bullet at an extremely high velocity at shoulder level parallel to the ground, and if the velocity given to the bullet was high enough the bullet could (theoretically) be in orbit long enough to circle the globe and hit you in the back of the head.
All motions, in essence, that are not powered flight are a form of orbit. When you release a baseball it is only affected by a very few forces and its path is a ballistic trajectory. And all ballistic trajectories are a form of orbit around the Earth — again, a ballistic trajectory is just an orbit so low in the atmosphere that atmospheric drag quickly slows the satellite and its orbital path intersects the Earth.
Baseball is a satellite sport.
Your bat makes it an artificial satellite.
A bolt that fell off a satellite when the satellite deployed its solar panels is a satellite in Earth’s orbit. The bolt is a satellite.
A small bolt-sized piece of an asteroid that is caught in Earth’s gravity as it passes by the Earth is a satellite in Earth’s orbit.
There is no discernible difference in being satellites, between the bolt (a man made object) and the asteroid piece (a natural object).
In fact, think about this:
Any piece of matter exerts gravitational force on any other piece of matter. It is that gravitational force that makes one piece of matter orbit another piece of matter. And both pieces of matter are orbiting each other around their center of mass.
The Earth orbits the Sun, while at the same time the Sun orbits the Earth. If you were floating in space above the Earth, you would be orbiting the Earth and the Earth, would at the same time be orbiting you. In that particular cases the enormous difference in mass would mean the Earth’s orbit around you would be so small as to be imperceptible but nonetheless, the Earth would be orbiting you.
That also means that if an astronaut goes on a space walk outside his satellite space station, he is orbiting the Earth and the space station and the closest star. Meanwhile the closest star to our solar system is orbiting the astronaut and is orbiting the Earth and is orbiting the space station and is orbiting the bolt that fell off the solar panel when it was deploying.

Answer:
natural satellites are the satellite which is made by nature.
examples of natural satellites are sun, stars, moon etc.
artificial sattelites are made by human beings.
examples of artificial sattelites are Aryabhatta and all other rockets etc
