A satellite is an object that orbits around a larger body, such as a planet or a star. It can be natural, such as a moon, or artificial, man-made by humans.
The magnitude of a satellite is determined by the brightness of the object as seen from Earth. It is measured on a logarithmic scale, with lower numbers indicating brighter objects.
The acceleration problem refers to the difficulty in maintaining a constant speed and direction of a satellite in orbit. This is due to the influence of external forces, such as gravity and atmospheric drag, which can cause deviations in the satellite's path.
The acceleration of a satellite is affected by several factors, including the mass and speed of the satellite, the strength of the gravitational pull from the larger body it is orbiting, and any external forces acting on the satellite, such as atmospheric drag.
The acceleration problem is addressed in satellite design by carefully considering the orbital parameters and designing the satellite to withstand external forces. This may include using propulsion systems to maintain a constant speed and direction, as well as aerodynamic designs to minimize the effects of atmospheric drag.
