A geostationary orbit is an orbit of the Earth that is circular, over the equator,
and at the right distance to have a period of 24 hours. A satellite in such an orbit
appears to hang motionless, always at the same point in the sky
Anything else is a non-geostationary orbit. A satellite in one of those appears to move
in the sky, so that if you want to communicate with it, you need a movable dish.
