Model Problem A weather satellite in a circular orbit around Earth completes one orbit every 3 hours. The radius of the Earth is about 6400 km, and the satellite is positioned 2600 km above Earth. How far does the satellite travel in 1 hour. s since one complete rotation takes 3 hr., the satellite completes 1/3 of a rotation in 1hr. r s = distance traveled in 1 hr. r = 6400 + 2600 = 9000
