Yes.

It is called geosynchronous orbit where the satellite speed equals the rotation of earth but is far enough so gravity doesn't effect its orbit immediately.

Weather satellites are geosynchronous as are communication, broadcast (DirecTV and Dish, to name a few), spy, scientific.

What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?

Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.


Why does Neptune have satellites even thought it is not orbited by any that are man-made?

The definition of a "satellite" is anything that orbits a larger body. Moons are satellites (natural satellites), and Neptune has 13 known moons.
