Exploring the World of Satellites: Their Role in Modern Society

The video tutorial explains that satellites are objects that orbit other objects, with examples including the Earth's moon and artificial satellites like Sputnik One. It highlights the significant impact of satellite technology on daily life, particularly in weather forecasting and climate change studies. Satellites consist of a payload and a bus, with specific instruments for their missions. They are launched into orbit using rockets, and their orbit is maintained by speed and gravitational pull. The primary uses of satellites include communication, Earth observation, and navigation.
