How do satellite internet constellations like Starlink provide global coverage?

Satellite internet constellations like Starlink use many small satellites working together to bring internet to places all around Earth.

Imagine you're playing a game of tag with your friends in the park. If only one person is chasing you, it's easy to hide or run away. But if every friend is running toward you from different directions, it’s harder to escape, and that makes the game more fun! Starlink satellites are like those friends who are all chasing you at once.

Starlink uses hundreds of small satellites in space, orbiting Earth much like birds flying around a tree. These satellites send internet signals down to your house or phone. Because there are so many of them, they can cover the whole world, even places that are far away from big cities.

When you're using Starlink, it's like having a super team of satellites working together to keep you connected no matter where you are!
