China and Japan satellites were only revolving around earth at 650 km only while studying Sun, they never went out of earth’s gravity to get close to sun

देवीजी आपलोग कूल दिखने के चक्कर में ? मार्क क्यों लगा देते । थोड़ा तो आपलोगो को विश्वास रखना चाहिए आपने संथाओ पर । हम तो चिल्ला के कहते है ISRO PRIDE OF INDIA 🇮🇳 जय हिन्द 🙏

Did anyone go to L1 before and if it is just a point in space; how many satellites can occupy this point at a time.?

[whaddoiknow]

I was hoping for a good explanation of L1 points, but she botches it. At 4:50 when she says the satellite should "move with them" that is ambiguous. The essential concept is that at the L1 point, the satellite will have the *same* orbital period around the sun, i.e., 365.25 days. This way if you picture an imaginary chain between the earth and the sun that is swinging around as the earth orbits the sun, the satellite at the L1 point will be like a bead on this chain.
