There are more and more artificial satellites and space probes rotating around the Earth in space and the numbers are growing. Do you wonder why they do not collide at all?

Actually, there are different Earth orbits in space. Each artificial satellite orbits on separate orbits based on its purpose. The distances between each orbit and the Earth vary, so the satellites do not collide with each other.

Artificial satellites, space telescopes and the International Space Station rotate around orbits including the Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit, Geostationary Orbit and Lagrange point ... Why are there so many different orbits? The answer is that each orbit has its characteristics and that satellites and space telescopes choose their orbits for them to function. After launching, they operate in their respective orbits.

What are the features of different orbits? Where are the weather satellites, communication satellites and global positioning satellites that we often use in our daily life? If you want to know more, stay tuned to our posts!
