Question:

Give examples of aspects of our daily lives that are dependent on satellites

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt



Answer:

Satellites with various detectors and telescopes observe distant objects and allow us to analyse them to increase our awareness of our universe (Eg, the Hubble telescope increased our awareness of space a lot) GPS allows us to use our phones to determine our location within a few metres TV Networks rely heavily on satellites to transfer signals from one area to another, for instance, live reporting from major events Weather forecasts are based on data from satellite systems which have monitored the area around where we live. This allows us to receive up to d ate images of clouds, which are then shown on weather forecasts
