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.
Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?
LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
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.
How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
What type of satellite orbits the earth at 22300 miles above the earth?
Geostationary
What is a geostationary satellite?
Geostationary is the moving orbit in the plane of the equator. Geostationary satellites are 22,300 miles above the Earths surface, and remain stationary at a fixed point. Weather and communication satellites are examples of geostationary satellites.
What is non-geostationary satellite?
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.
What is the device that orbits the Earth and collects weather data?
Geostationary satellite.
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
Why must the Earth-based satellite dish face a fixed direction if it remains in the same location with respect to a geostationary satellite?

What is non geostationary?

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.
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
