Satellites

In this 90-second talk, we will explore what satellites are and their crucial roles in modern technology. Satellites are objects that orbit the Earth and serve various purposes, including communication, navigation, and weather monitoring. We will discuss the differences between geostationary and polar orbits, and how gravitational forces and orbital distance impact their speed and functionality. Understanding these factors is essential for grasping why some satellites move faster than others in their orbits around the Earth.
