2. The Earth's Satellite
Our planet Earth has one natural satellite — the Moon
3. Man-Made Satellites
People build satellites to help with communication, weather forecasts, and even exploring space!
4. Orbiting
Satellites travel in a path called an orbit, which is just like a big circle or oval around
the Earth.
5. Types of Satellites
There are different types: communication satellites, weather satellites, and GPS satellites, to name a few!
6. Speed
Satellites move really fast! Some travel around the Earth at speeds of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour).
7. How Satellites Help Us
Satellites help us watch TV, make phone calls, predict the weather, and even guide us with GPS maps.
8. Space Junk
Old or broken satellites can turn into space junk, which is debris that stays floating around in space.
9. Launching Satellites
Satellites are launched into space using powerful rockets that carry them high above the Earth's atmosphere.
10. The Hubble Space Telescope
One famous satellite is the Hubble Space Telescope, which helps scientists look at faraway stars and galaxies to learn more about the universe!

2. What is a constellation of satellites?
what is a natural satellite made out of?
Are satlites just made for humans?
What happens if we don't have satlites?
Can the satlites collecting the information from outer space,like the places in the space thatvwe have discovered yet?
Can a satlite communicate with a alien?
