A satellite is an object that orbits another object in space. These can be natural, like the Moon orbiting Earth, or artificial, launched by humans for various purposes. Artificial satellites are crucial for modern life, enabling communication services like television and internet, providing accurate navigation through GPS, monitoring weather patterns and climate change, and conducting scientific research by observing Earth and the wider universe. They operate by transmitting and receiving signals to and from ground stations, relying on solar power and onboard systems to maintain their orbit and function.
