Explain the difference between natural and artificial satellites.
Answer (3)
artificial satellites: manufactured objects that continuously go round the Earth or some other body in space. Natural satellites: objects which are formed by nature such as the moon
A natural satellite is like a moon or other natural object orbiting a celestial body. The moon is a natural satellite for earth.
An artificial satellite would be like a satellite sent up by humans. Sputnik was an artificial satellite, and so is the gps network
Natural satellites are celestial objects like moons that orbit planets, formed by nature. In contrast, artificial satellites are man-made objects sent into space for specific functions. Both types orbit larger bodies due to gravitational forces.
