I did't want to sound dumb but I was wondering how it worked Satellites are in orbit that means they are orbiting the Earth so how does it work when they are on the other side of the Earth , Then I thought well people have Dish TV and always have a signal but figured they got or use more then one satellite . But you can actuality see the line of Star link satellites go over head sometimes .

As of March 2024, there are 5,504 Starlink satellites in orbit, of which 5,442 are operational,

It looks like 40,000+ is the target number, so I guess it will work anywhere on the planet soon.

I'm wondering how much impact solar storms will have and how many they knock offline? There is supposed to be a powerful one heading our way today and tomorrow. Too many clouds to see them here this time.
