What is the satellite that always stays over one spot on Earth?

A "geo-synchronous" orbit is one in which a satellite orbits in exactly 23 hours 56 minutes, the same rate at which the Earth spins. So while the satellite is moving and the Earth is moving, they are moving together at the same angular speed. This only works for equatorial orbits.

What kind of orbit are observation satellites usually placed in?

You mean Earth observation satellites, and the answer is near-Polar low-Earth orbits. This means that as the satellite orbits from above one pole to the other, the Earth turns beneath it, and the satellite passes over the Equator, and every other point on its orbit, at a different place on each successive orbit. In this way, after enough orbits, it can view the whole Earth. Earth observation satellites are placed in low-Earth orbit because (a) they travel faster over the ground at lower altitude and (b) being closer to the ground, their telescopes do not need to be so powerful to achieve a given spatial resolution. Military observation, or spy, satellites, are often placed in a high parking orbit until they are needed, whereupon they are placed into a highly elliptical orbit to allow them to come very close to Earth (and hence see it with great detail) over the region of interest.


Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?

A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.

What is a satellite that stay in the same location in the sky?

The term you are looking for is geostationary, or geosynchronous. when a satellite's apparent position relative to the surface of the earth remains the same. of course they are still moving through space, but from an earth based observation they dont go anywhere.


How space based observation are used to study earth?

base on my observation we use satellite to study space to learn more. when we study the space we can study about meteors,planets,gadgets we are using ton explore,about the sun.
