We call such satellites "geosynchronous". That means the time it takes them to make one revolution around the Earth is the same as the time it takes the Earth to revolve once. Yes, that's one day, 24 hours.

When a satellite stays in a fixed position above the earth it is said to be in?
geosynchroneses
Where is a satellite when it stays at the same point above earths surface?
That's a "geostationary" satellite. It's roughly 22,000 miles above the equator, in a circular orbit.
What is a satellite that stays in one location is called?
No satellites stays exactly still as they could not remain in orbit, but probably you are meaning a geostationary satellite. The orbit of these satellites matches the speed of the earth turning underneath them, so they remain above the same geographical point on the earth.
What is a spacecraft that stays in orbit around a planet or moon?
Satellite
Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No. A space station stays in space, a shuttle goes back and forth between the station and the Earth.

What is the difference between a POES satellite and a GOES satellite?
A GOES satellite stays seemingly motionless, hovering 35,800 km above the Earth's equator, while a POES satellite travels over multiple lines of longitude, moving around the Earth. POES is also closer to the Earth, at about 750 km above Earth.

What are the advantages of launching a satellite?
If the satellite stays on Earth, it would be quite useless.
What is the word for a motion that is parallel to earth surface?
Geosynchronous. Like when the space station stays above the same spot no above the earth as it turns.

Satellite
Why is the moon called a natural satellite of the earth?
Because it is a satellite - it stays in orbit around Earth. And it is natural - meaning not made by humans.
What are two artificial satellites that orbit New Zealand?
Satellites cannot orbit one country. They may remain in geostationary orbit, but only at the equator. Therefore no satellite stays above only New Zealand.
Is a space station the same as a space shuttle?
No. A space station stays in space, a shuttle goes back and forth between the station and the Earth.
Is the work is done when satellite orbits around the earth?
No because it stays in orbit and takes pictures of the ever changing earth.
Are comets part of the solar system?
They are because they are parts of a planet or space material that stays or floats around in space
