What is the difference?
- 1Function: Satellites are primarily used for communication, navigation, and observation, while probes are designed for exploration and data collection.
- 2Location: Satellites orbit the Earth or other planets, while probes are sent to explore specific celestial bodies.
- 3Size: Satellites are typically larger than probes.
- 4Cost: Satellites are generally more expensive to build and launch than probes.
- 5Versatility: Satellites can be used for a variety of purposes, while probes are designed for specific missions.
Remember this!
Satellite and probe are both devices used for exploration and investigation. However, the difference between them lies in their function, location, size, cost, and versatility. Satellites are primarily used for communication, navigation, and observation, while probes are designed for exploration and data collection on specific celestial bodies.
