An awesome question. Satellites that are stationary, compared to our planet, are moving at at exactly the same speed as our planet's rotation. To do this, a satellite must be exactly a certain distance away from our planet so it "falls" at just the right speed as to never change it's apparent position. That distance is 35,786 kilometers (give or take a few meters).

How many satellites are included in Global Positioning System?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) currently consists of a constellation of 31 operational satellites. These satellites are spread out in six orbital planes, approximately 20,200 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
Will gps work if I don't have phone coverage?
With the right software, one has the capability of converting a cellphone into a GPS. These cellphones communicate with positioning satellites which are capable of triangulating one's position and displaying it on the phone.
How does satellites work?
they work by the people on earth they use a control button to keep the satellites working
How do artificial satellites work in the Philippines?
In the Philippines, artificial satellites work as transmitters. These transmit cellular phone communications, Internet, weather observation, television channels' signals, and navigation.
What kind of help do satellites give car drivers and airplane pilots?
Navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides location and time information for anywhere on the Earth via a series of satellites in geostationary orbits. The time it takes for the driver/pilot to send a signal to the satellites and receive it back again can be used to work out how far away you are from the satellites, which is used to work out where you are.
How does a GPS (Global Positioning System) work?
A GPS works by satellites that are located in outer space. These satellites are connected with cameras that show the whole earth. You GPS and the satellites systems are working together to provide maps for you.
What type of work are done on deploying satellites?
put dynamite in space XD
How many satellites have all planets?
this is a good question.scientists and astronomers should work on this.
How do television satellites work?
there are satellite transmitters in space that send singnals to earth
Why do private companies and the government work together to launch satellites?
They are all posh
What are the applications of modern physics in your daily lives?
GPS and handphones can work because of the satellites, and satellites makes use of special relativity(modern physics) to calculate the time dilation which ensures the satellites sends useful and accurate information.
How do gps satellites work?
Scientists can monitor changes in elevation as well as horizontal movement along faults using a network of Earth-orbiting satellites called GPS.
How many minimum satellites are required for a Gis device to work?
a GPS device will need at least 3 satellite locks to work.
What are ring satellites?
No, because rings are not satellites, but the moons are satellites.
