"No, a satellite does not always receive solar energy from the sun. While most satellites use solar panels, they frequently pass through Earth's shadow—known as an eclipse—blocking sunlight for roughly 45 minutes of a typical 90-minute orbit. During these periods, satellites rely on rechargeable batteries to continue functioning."
>>16944461>what is SSOyou are cattle if you're not naturally curious about space stuff
>>16944461There are several trivial orbits where sun is shining continuously or nearly continuously.
>>16944461I think you should upgrade your AI plan anon, it's too dumb
>>16944461genuine midwit sighting
>>169444611. As others have mentioned, you can achieve orbits where the sun is always in line of sight with your panels.2. The fact that you needed an LLM to explain that satellites on the night side of Earth wouldn't receive sunlight is... telling.3. Even ignoring the prior two points, this is nothing but an "um, ackchually" tier gotcha in response to a hyperbolic piece of marketing wank on his profile's banner. If some box meal said it was jam-packed with flavor would you feel it necessary to clarify that "flavor" is an abstract concept and the idea of "packing" it into something is a category error?I don't even like Musk. But this is exceptionally retarded.
>>16944461There's plenty to criticize Musk for, this is just retarded.
