) What is an artificial satellite?
b) Name the earth’s satellite?
Answers
Answer:
In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an object that has been intentionally placed into orbit. These objects are called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as Earth's Moon. On 4 October 1957 the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1.
The moon is the earth's natural satellite
ANSWER :-
(A)
An artificial satellite is an object that people have made and launched into orbit using rockets. There are currently over a thousand active satellites orbiting the Earth. The size, altitude and design of a satellite depend on its purpose.
(B)
Earth has one satellite, and it's the moon and is named as such. The moon is a satellite because it naturally orbits the Earth.
EXTRA EXPLANATION :-
Satellites are objects of orbit. For instance, man might launch a probe into space to orbit a planet, like Pluto. That probe is considered an artificial satellite. However, there are also natural satellites.
