cheem Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi, Can a man-made satellite orbiting around the Earth help us gather information on: a) the ozone layer b) ocean currents c) other planets Are all the choices correct? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 They might be, they might not. By choices do you mean 'are there other things satellites can gather'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheem Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 They might be, they might not. By choices do you mean 'are there other things satellites can gather'? Thanks By choices, I was referring to a, b and c. So can a typical man-made satellite help us gather information on a) the ozone layer, b) ocean currents and c) other planets? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 currently the sats we have up there, do ALL these AND more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 But not all of them by the same satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 "currently the sats we have up there, do ALL these AND more :)" Satellite technology does indeed develop (and has developed) at an astonishing rate. Good thing some parts in Russian and American satellites are made in Finland; that way at least some parts of the satellite is completely functional. And for the things satellites can do... well, it probably won't be long until you can use a satellite as a powerful particle accelerator, an orbital bombing device and have it make a doughnut and a cup of coffee for you while you're at it.
