A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?
A geostationary orbit will keep the satellite in one area relative to the surface
How is the geostationary satellite used?
If you mean what it is used for, its most common uses are for weather forecasting, and communications, like satellite TV and radio.
How does a geostationary satellite work?
they fly in air
A geostationary satellite appears standstill to a viewer on the equator of earth?
A geostationary satellite appears to stand still to a viewer anywhere on the earth, not just on the equator.
Which is the height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately?
15000km
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.

What does geostationary satelites do?
it carries wind into the earth.
Which satellite used for telecommunication?
Geostationary satellite
How does a geostationary satellite work?
they fly in air

A geostationary satellite appears to stand still to a viewer anywhere on the earth, not just on the equator.
Are geostationary orbit and equatorial orbit same?
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.
Why perfect geostationary satellite can not be made?
It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.
Two examples of geostationary satellites?
Meteosat..,syncom3
What is the main characteristic of a geostationary satellite's footprint?
its location
