What Are Satellites? Science for Kids 🛰️🌍 | Lina & Mishmish

Why is that star moving across the night sky? 🌟 Lina and her kitten Mishmish blast off in a little rocket to find out, and float above planet Earth next to a real satellite! In this episode kids will learn: 🛰️ A satellite is a machine that goes around and around the Earth ☀️ Its blue wings are solar panels that catch sunshine for power 🚀 How a satellite gets to space: it rides inside a big rocket that lets it go sideways, super fast 🌍 Why it doesn't fall down: Earth pulls it, but it is moving so fast sideways that it curves around the Earth again and again. That's an orbit! ☁️ Satellites help with weather, maps on phones and TV 👩‍🚀 Astronauts live and work on the space station, which circles the Earth about 16 times every day 🌙 The Moon is Earth's natural satellite Your mission at home: with a grown-up, find out when the space station flies over your town (NASA "Spot the Station" or a sky app). Then go outside at night, look up for the bright moving light, and wave at the astronauts! 👋 Perfect for curious kids ages 4 to 8. Fun, simple science in about 3 minutes.
