Can’t picture how satellites orbit the earth? This film can help!
Director's Notes:
Stop motion film of geostationary, polar orbits and earth orbit satellites.
SciCast Notes:
Ooh! Nice! Perhaps not quite as clear as it might be, and geostationary orbits are — unless I’m much mistaken — directly over the equator. So you might want to do some reading before using this film to answer your homework.
However, I love the style, and that it’s so short and simple. Well-judged, just a little let-down by the research?
