Ground based satellites, which cover the earth.Can you explain how my satellite internet/fox footy works with out satellites?

balloons
cables under oceans
parabolic reflectors
I maybe totally wrong here but is the telescope made of metals that melt at a certain temp, same with satellites. Where they orbit the temp is at a certain point which would melt the said metals?
Or am I way off?
I read when it gets to a certain temperature it radiates heat. Radiation has a cooling effect.Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat. Tempature is the measurement of the energy level of the molecules. Because there are so few molecules in the near vacuum environment, a very small amount of heat (energy) is transferred over all.
Having said that, we actually have materials that can survive 1800 C, some of them quite easily. From advanced ceramics to titanium carbides, we have invented materials that can easily contain 1600C glass and more.

So they have been designed to absorb and release radiation as a cool mechanism. The more it heats up the more the radiation cools it.
But then I have also seen you reasoning.
How do those very few molecules of gas get so hot? The sun right? So if something else was in the thermosphere surely the sun would heat it up too, no?Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat.

Dude i already explained why it doesnt get so hot.How do those very few molecules of gas get so hot? The sun right? So if something else was in the thermosphere surely the sun would heat it up too, no?
You attempted to, yes.Dude i already explained why it doesnt get so hot.
Click the NASA link above. That is the scientific explanation, maybe its not what you want to hear, well play on thenYou attempted to, yes.
There is no such thing as a "ground based satellite". That's an oxymoron within itself.Ground based satellites, which cover the earth.

im pretty sure you know what he means![]()
Thats a dish, it receives signals from satellites lol ffs
Lol goodness sake, why do you think its called a satellite dish? why do you think it has to be tuned and faced towards the satellite to receive the signals? the top of the dish has a thing called the "parabolic antenna" which is pointed towards space to receive signals from satellite and transmit it through. So if there is nothing up above, where is it receiving the signal from? and why does it lose the signal the moment you move it a little bit?and they are incapable other passing signals to each other?
sounds like a engineering flaw
