According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (www.ucsusa.org), there are 502 low earth orbit (LEO) and 432 geosynchronous orbit (GEO) satellites in space. Each satellite is owned by an entity in either the government, military, commercial, or civil sector. A breakdown of the number of satellites in orbit for each sector is displayed in the accompanying table. Use this information to construct a pair of graphs that compare the ownership sectors of LEO and GEO satellites in orbit.
