Watch the satellite, with either a telescope or a very highly directional radio antenna. An observation period of twelve hours will be long enough to answer the question. If the satellite appears to move in the sky by more than a few tenths of a degree during that time, then it is not in geostationary orbit.

How can you tell if a satellite is in a geostationary orbit?
me nuh care
How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?
It appears to remain in the same spot above the earth.
Which satellite used for telecommunication?
Geostationary satellite
First Indian satellite in geostationary satellite was?
Aryabhatta
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.
A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?
A geostationary orbit will keep the satellite in one area relative to the surface
How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
How does a geostationary satellite work?
they fly in air
Does a satellite in a geostationary orbit move across the sky from east to west?
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.
A geostationary satellite appears standstill to a viewer on the equator of earth?
A geostationary satellite appears to stand still to a viewer anywhere on the earth, not just on the equator.
Why perfect geostationary satellite can not be made?
It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.
Which is the first geostationary satellite of India?
Aryabhata in 1975
