Clues

  • A comet orbits the sun in an __________ loop, whereas the planets have almost circular orbits. (10)
  • A universal force of attraction between masses. (7)
  • An example of this is that the Moon orbits the Earth as a _______ satellite. (7)
  • An object that orbits a larger object in space. (9)
  • Satellites which have been put into space by humans. (10)
  • The force that acts towards the centre of a circle that keeps an object moving in a circle, provided by gravity. (11)
  • The period of time taken for a satellite to make one complete orbit. The higher the position above the Earth, the longer it takes to make a complete orbit. (7)
  • The use of geostationary satellites can be used for Global Positioning Systems (GPS), weather forecasting, satellite phone calls and satellite __________. (10)
  • These satellites orbit much higher above the Earth and take 24 hours to complete one orbit. They remain above a fixed position (above the equator) on the Earth all the time. (13)
  • This force is what keeps a satellite in orbit. (13)
