a equatorial orbit is not the same as a geostaninty orbist
In what year was the moon called Proteus discovered? real answer is..... Answer: Discovered by Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989, it is named after Proteus, the shape-changing sea god of Greek mythology. Proteus circles Neptune in a nearly equatorial orbit at the distance of about 4.75 equatorial radii of the planet.

The equatorial diameter of the moon is 2,159.2 miles. The circumference is 6,783.5 miles. It has a mean radius of 1,079.6 miles.
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
it is called and orbit, its elliptical (its like a streached out circle)
A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
No. Geostationary orbits are equatorial, but equatorial orbits are not necessarily geostationary. To be geostationary, the orbit needs to be equatorial, circular and at the altitude such that one orbit takes one sidereal day (approximately 24 hours 3 minutes 56 seconds. ) An equatorial orbit need only be located above the equator, may have any period and need not be circular.
equatorial orbit
Jupiter consists of hydrogen and helium (primarily) like the Sun. It has a host of satellites in orbit around its equatorial plane. The sun has natural satellites (planets) that orbit its equatorial plane.
Yes, but.... it would take a LOT of fuel to do! For practical purposes, the answer is no. No spacecraft built can carry enough fuel to significantly change its orbit.
No, it does not. The inclination of the moon's orbital plane is anywhere from 18.3 degrees to 28.6 degrees. The moon does intersect earth's equatorial plane twice during every sidereal orbit.
While there are two main ways a satellite can orbit: equatorial and polar; there are actually an infinite number of ways, depending on their orbital angle of inclination. Equatorial orbits have 0 degrees of inclination, polar orbits have 90 degrees of inclination. Satellites can also orbit forward or retrograde, but it is much harder to launch into retrograde orbits so the vast majority are in forward orbits.
Geo-stationary communication satellites are 35,768 Km far from earth surface at an equatorial latitiude.

There are equatorial lines of latitude.
Ceres is is the smallest of the five dwarf planets currently recognised. Its equatorial diameter is 974.6km and it is orbit around our sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
