What is the difference between geostationary orbit and sun synchronous orbit?
GEOSTATIONARY=GEO+STATIONARY MEANS EARTH+FIXED POINT thus geostationary orbit is orbit around the earth is in the same plane as that defined by the earths equator at an altitude of 22,236 miles (35,786 km eg say satellite such that it appears to be stationary to the orbit of the earth above the equator all day long. where as sun synchronous orbit occurs from north to south pole as the earth rotates
Is earth considered as a satellite?
Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
Which of the following planets rotates on its side?
Uranus
What planets rotates top to bottom instead of side to side?
Uranus rotates from top to bottom. Stay in school and learn.

Does planet mercury have an equator?
Yes. Mercury rotates, like all the planets. So it has an axis of rotation and that defines the "poles" of the planet. The equator is defined relative to the planet's poles.
Is earth considered as a satellite?
Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
yes because all planets rotate.stupid people.
What is synchronous rotation of man made satellite?
Um..it depends if the satellite rotates about the earth its synchronous rotation should be: a whole number (usually one) (multiplied by) 1rotation/23.934hours or simply r(1/24)---generally r (number of times it rotates per day) is going to be one 1rotation/23.934hours is the standard synchronous rotation for a satellite in the earth's orbit..the only reason i suggested multiplying a number by it, is because it may change depending on the number of times it revolves per day Synchronous rotation is going to refer to the relationship between the orbital period of a satellite and the rotational period of the body it is orbiting; at the end of every rotational period (day) it will be in the same position in the sky, when observed from the the body it orbits. -if you want to find out the synchronous rotation for another planetary body, just use the amount of time it takes for the body to complete a day--for some it's a little bonkos: Venus, for instance, has a day that is longer than its year (it rotates slower than it completes an annular revolution). There are different forms of synchronous rotation but as far as finding the number, everything written above is correct; I'm not sure if the logic is faulty, but the method to derive the values is correct. The simplest answer to your question is 1 /24 or 1/23.934 revolutions per hour; 1/86164 revolutions per second; or satellite's synchronous rotation rate is 0.04178156597309267151332831954542 revolutions per hour (1/24 revolutions per 1/24 of a day)
Which direction does mars revolve?
Mars, like all of the planets except Venus, rotates in counterclockwise motion. The planet has a rotational speed of 868.22 km/h at the equator.
What is geosatelite?
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on the Earth repeats regularly over points on the Earth over time.
The earth rotates on what is called its?
The Earth, and all rotating planets, rotates on its axis.
What is the imaginary line the earth rotates around?
the equator.
Which of the following planets rotates on its side?
Uranus
In what type of orbit does a satellite follow the direction of the earths rotation seeming to hover over one spot on the equator?
Synchronous orbitThis is where an orbiting body (moon) has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited (planet), and in the same direction of rotation as that body.
Which planets rotates fast?
Jupiter rotates fastest at 9.9 hours and is closely followed by Saturn which rotates on its axis in 10 hours.
