What is the number of moons and satellites on the earth?
40000 million moons and 3000 trillion satilites
How many minimum number of geostationary satellite needed for uninterrupted global coverage?
In theory, 2 satellites in diametrically opposite geosynchronous orbits could cover the planet. In order for the satellites to communicate, a minimum of 3 would be needed, each at a 60 degree angle to the others. At this point, the strength and quality of coverage increases proportionally to the number of satellites.
