-- Its orbit must be precisely over the equator.

-- The orbit must be exactly circular.

-- The period of the orbit must be 3 minutes 56 seconds less than 24 hours.

(This requirement determines exactly what the size of the orbit must be.)

Is any kind of satellite stationary in the night sky?

Yes. There are many satellites that are geostationary. That is they remain fixed over the same relative position of the Earth. In the night sky, it would appear to not move in relation to the background stars and other stellar bodies.

Is a satellite at 110 degrees West higher in the sky than a satellite at 119 Degrees West?

It depends upon where you are in relation to the satellites. If you are east of the 110 satellite, then yes the 110 appears higher than the 119. If you are west of 119 then it would appear higher than the 110. If you are in between them, the closer one will appear higher.

Why do tornadoes appear black?

Tornadoes do not always appear black. The apparent color depends on lighting conditions and how much and what color of soil is being lifted. Many tornadoes appear dark because of perspective: the are lit from behind and are essentially silhouetted against the light source. The same tornado may appear lighter if viewed from a different angle. The storms that spawn tornadoes have very thick clouds that often making conditions appear very dark. The clouds themselves may be black. Some tornadoes may be black as they lift large amounts of black soil into the air.
