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 :)

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

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. :)

But not all of them by the same satellite.

Well No... that`s why I said satS :)

Can they? yes sure they can if they are designed for that specific purpose.

But not tea.

But not tea.

right, thats it - we may as well just give up the whole satelite program now ;)
