GPS satellites
GPS satellites are part of a global navigation system that helps determine your location anywhere on Earth. There are about 30 satellites orbiting the planet, working together to send signals to GPS devices. When your device receives signals from at least four satellites, it calculates your exact position by measuring the time it took for the signals to arrive. This information is used in various applications, from navigation in cars and smartphones to timing in financial systems. GPS technology is essential for accurate location tracking and is used worldwide.
