It depends on which satellite you are talking about. However YES, it is closer than any geostationary weather satellite and it is closer than any GPS satellites.

What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?

Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.


Which country is closer to the equator US or Greece?

i think that Greece is closer to the equator because of the random weather changes


Why werent the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to to uranus?

Since Uranus is a long distance from earth and the 10 smaller satellites are so small and dark, we weren't able to discover them until we sent a spacecraft close to Uranus. These satellites are not visible from earth.Uranus is very far away from the Sun and the Earth, and its satellites very small. When Voyager flew there it was much closer and it was easier to detect them.Space probes have proved that Uranus also has ten much smaller satellites that orbit much closer to the planet. These ten are dark in color and do not reflect as much sunlight as the larger ones.

How do seas affect climate?

The closer you are to a large body of water the more mild the weather is going to be. The farther you are away from the large body of water the more extreme your weather is going to get.

Why do weather satellites orbit closer to the earth than other types?

Those satellites be closer to earth than other satellites because then it can find out about earth's weather because if it's close to earth then it get in the way of weather so it can send message about the weather faster than others


Would Wi-Fi be better up in space since satellites are closer?

No. Wi-Fi makes connections between wireless clients and wireless access points. Sattelites are NOT involved so proximity to satellites has no relevance to the performance of Wi-Fi. Since wireless access points are ground-based, going into space would only cause your signal to get worse the further away from your wireless router you got. If you placed a wireless router on the international space station then it would be your proximity to the space station that would determine how well your Wi-Fi worked not that fact that you were in space or closer to some sattelite.


How fast do satellites traval?

The speed of satellites varies depending on their distance from the Earth. The closer they are, the faster they must travel in order to remain in orbit.
