Why don't Satellite Dishes point straight up into Space where the Satellites are...Why do they point at an angle and directiion of a cell tower ? | |

[link to www.quora.com (secure)] Elevation angle is angle of direction of an object, say a satellite, with respect to horizontal plane at the observer. [link to www.hobbysat.com] 1. Pick the satellite that you want in the 'Satellite' field. 2. Select your location in the 'Location' field and click on 'Calculate Look Angle'. |

The satellite isn’t ‘strait up’ as you say. An example is visualize the angle and azimuth needed for dishes in Texas vs California if the target satellite is directly over about Mexico City. This is for Geosynchronous sats. Starlink on the other hand is basically strait up. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. -Albert Einstein |
