Is it possible to place a satellite in geosynchronous orbit at a much lower altitude?

No. To remain in orbit it needs to have a certain speed, and that speed will only match the surface speed of the earth on a certain height. To go lower it'd have to go slower, and then it'd fall.

Is the altitude higher or lower if the temperature remains the same?
lower
How do you boil water at a high altitude?
At a high altitude, water reaches its boiling point at a lower temperature because of a lower air pressure holding it in its liquid form.
How would the observed temperature be affected if distillation was performed on top of a mountain?
The boiling point temperature is lower at low pressure (altitude).
Is the temperature cooler in low altitude or higher altitude?
There is ever-so-slightly less... but good luck measuring that tiny difference!Altitude is the point at which an item sits in relation to sea or ground level.
Why does water boils in high altitude area than lower lands?
Because of the lower pressure.
How does altitude relate to temperature?
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
How does altitude relate to climate?
The higher the altitude the colder the climate, the warmer the climate the lower the altitude.
This is the effect on temperature when altitude increases.?
At high altitude the temeperature is lower.
How changes in altitude affect pressure?
At high altitude the pressure is lower.
Is the altitude higher or lower if the temperature remains the same?
lower
What does altitude do to the air pressure?
makes 40% oxygen than lower altitude
What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?
In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.
How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?
the higher you are the more the density decreases
How long does it take to build a satellite?
The time it takes to put together a satellite varies on the size and structure of the satellite. A simple satellite could be put together in a couple of months, where a large science mission could take ten or more years.
What effect does the altitude of the atmosphere have on its density?
Simply put, the higher the altitude, the lower the density of the air molecules.
How do you boil water at a high altitude?
At a high altitude, water reaches its boiling point at a lower temperature because of a lower air pressure holding it in its liquid form.
