The earth is a planet. An earth satellite is an artificial satellite that orbits the earth A geostationary satellite is an earth satellite that orbits at a height (approximately 22,000 miles) precisely determined to ensure that the satellite remains over the same spot on the earth's surface at all times, thus appearing from the earth to be stationary in the sky.

∙ 15y agoIt depends on which orbit the satellite is in: * Low orbits are around 300 - 500 miles high * Geosynchronous orbits are around 23,000 miles up * Elliptical orbits vary * I think there are other orbits as well, but I am not sure

What is the space in an image that seems farthest away from the viewer called?
background
Question 21 A satellite on the geostationary orbit can cover as much as half of the earth's surface.?
Yes; it is fairly far away, so it can cover almost half the Earth's surface - but not quite.
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
What is satellite longitude in satellite communication?
satellite is satellite
What is the part of an artwork that seems farthest away?
The Vanishing point, i think. Vanishing point is where everything points to and fades out of view. It might be the background.
How far is the farthest satellite?
About to exit our solar system
What is the name of the point on the ellipse where the satellite is the farthest away from the occupied focus?
Apogee
How many light years away is the farthest galaxy?
There is not a ''farthest galaxy'' in the universe. But thereslotte is a very far galaxy.
What star is the farthest?
The farthest star is too far away to be seen. Also there are billions upon billions of unnamed stars that are closer.
How far away are Cancer's stars?
The closest (DX Cnc) is 11.8 lightyears away. The farthest is nearly 4000 lightyears away.
How far has a satellite gone in the universe?
Right now, the farthest spacecraft is the Voyagers which were launched in the 70's. But, they are only just out of our solar system. The universe as we know right now, is infinite. But, Hubble can see things that are unbelievable distances away.
What satellite is farthest from it's parent Planet?
sinope
Which satellite experiences the larger gravitational force if two satellites have the same mass but one is twice as far away from the planet as the other?
It would be the one farthest away because gravity tries pulling it harder and harder into an orbit so it goes much faster than the one inside.
How far away are the farthest objects we can observe?
With the naked eye, the most remote object is the Andromeda galaxy.
The point Earth is farthest away from the Moon in its orbit is called what?
The point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite that is most distant from the center of the earth is called the 'apogee'.
Why cant you use optical fibers for satellite communications?
Because a satellite is too far away to run any kind of wire or fiber to it.
Is moon a planet or satellite?
The moon is considered to be a satellite of the Earth. But from any place far away, the Earth and Moon might appear to be a double planet orbiting the sun.
