Satellites
The Moon is a natural satellite
of Earth. A satellite is something
which orbits a planet. Today
space agencies send many
other satellites into orbit.
They use them for a lot of
different things. We all know
that they use satellites for TV
communications. Television
channels send the pictures to the satellites so that people can
see the programmes all over the world. Telephone companies
also use satellites so we can talk to people in different countries.
Weather satellites are important to us too. Scientists use them to
tell us what tomorrow’s weather will be like.
