Comprehension

Satellites are objects that circle planets or other bodies in space. Some satellites are natural. Earth’s moon is one of these. The moons that orbit other planets are also natural satellites. Other satellites are artificial. They are made and put into orbit by humans. These have many different uses, including taking pictures of the Sun, Earth, and other planets, and looking deep into space at black holes, and distant stars and galaxies. 
There are also communications satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station. The side of a satellite facing the Sun gets very hot, while the shaded side becomes very cold. This is a problem because most satellite equipment is sensitive to extreme heat or cold. Ways of protecting the instruments include using layered blankets that look like foil to keep heat in, and adding radiators to release heat from electrical equipment.

1. What is a satellite?

2. Give an example of a natural satellite. 

3. Explain the difference between a natural satellite and an artificial satellite. 

4. Name one thing which an artificial satellite takes pictures of. 

5. What do you think could happen if the satellites become too hot or too cold?

6. What word in paragraph 2 lets you know that more than one blanket is used?
