Via satellites how long is the signal from London to cape town?

Answer 1

I took this extract from a project I had to do at school and I think it serves as a valid answer to the given question.

The geosynchronous satellites for signal between London, in the United Kingdom, and Cape Town, in South Africa are at a distance of 35 786km from the Earth. Therefore the distance between Cape Town and London is 80 000km. Using this information alongside the recent advancements in modern technologies it can be assumed that the time taken for the signal to be sent from London to Cape Town is only a matter of seconds.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The Geosynchonous satelites are at a distance of 22,236 miles (35,786 km) so the diatance to Cape Town from London is about 50,000 miles (80,000 km).
