Question

HURRY Which phrases describe the Global Positioning System (GPS)? Check all that apply. Finds locations by triangulation improves accuracy of digital maps pinpoints locations on Earth's interior uses one satellite station that orbits Earth provides information for navigation systems

Answer 1

The correct options are C, D and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The global positioning system is the navigation system used to detect the pinpoint location of an individual.
• This system works by the 30 artificial satellites which work by orbiting the earth.
• Now there are many devices and instruments which use GPS like cars,watches, guns etc.
• Hence the options C, D and E best describe the GPS. So these all are the correct options.

Answer 2

Options (1), (2), and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The GPS is defined as the global navigation satellite system that helps in locating any particular position, mapping, navigation purpose and also to measure the distance between any two particular places on earth. It is comprised of 6 orbital planes around the earth, in which 4 satellites each are present that continuous go round the earth and acquire information.

The full form of GPS is the Global Positioning System and it uses the triangulation method in order to locate a place on earth by measuring the distance between the satellites and the location. In order to obtain this data, the total number of 24 satellites are used. It also improves the accuracy of the map.

Thus, the correct answers are options (1), (2), and (5).
