Artificial satellites are machines that fly high above Earth and go around it. They help people in three big ways:
- Weather: Satellites take pictures of clouds and storms so we can know if it will rain or be sunny.
- Communication: Satellites help send phone calls, TV shows, and internet signals from one place to another.
- Science: Satellites carry tools to study space, Earth, animals, and the air to help scientists learn new things.
Think of a satellite like a camera and a helper in the sky that watches, sends messages, and helps scientists learn.
