Quiz Questions & Answers
Review every prompt, the correct responses, and helpful context to prep for your own run-through.
Question 1: Why does a satellite stay in orbit around Earth?
Because gravitational pull and centrifugal force are balanced
Because Earth's magnetic field holds them up
Because satellites have constant engine thrust
Because air resistance keeps them stable
Question 2: Which orbit is best for TV broadcasting so users don't need to move their dishes?
Low Earth Orbit
Medium Earth Orbit
Van Allen belt orbit
Geostationary orbit
Question 3: If a satellite drifts from its planned position, what system is used to correct it?
Van Allen belt rebound
Thrusters that use stored fuel
Solar panels that push the satellite
Antenna torque control
Question 4: Why do GPS navigation satellites use Medium Earth Orbit rather than Low Earth Orbit?
Because MEO gives stable timing and needs fewer satellites for coverage
Because MEO avoids the Van Allen belts entirely
Because MEO is closer to the ground for clearer signals
Because satellites in MEO never move relative to Earth’s surface
Question 5: What is the main function of a satellite transponder?
Change frequency, reduce noise, and amplify signals
Measure temperature of space
Store fuel for thrusters
Control the satellite's orbit directly
Question 6: Why are satellites wrapped in a gold-colored multi-layer material?
To store solar energy for power
To shield electronics from extreme temperatures and solar radiation
To increase their speed by reflecting sunlight
To make them visible to the naked eye from Earth
Question 7: What happens to a satellite at the end of its life to prevent collisions in crowded GEO?
It is parked in the Van Allen belt for safety
It is rotated rapidly until it falls away
It is deorbited to burn up over the equator
It is moved to a higher graveyard orbit using thrusters
