It's possible because the orbital period only depends on the satellite's distance from the center of the Earth, not its height above the Earth's surface. As long as the two satellites have the same distance from the center of the Earth, they will have the same orbital period even if their heights above the Earth's surface are different.

The network of satellites operated and maintained by the USA is the Global Positioning System (GPS). There are other systems, comprised of other constellations of satellites, and operated and maintained by other countries.
Scientists use satellites to view Earth's surface because they provide a wide coverage area, allow for consistent monitoring over time, and have the ability to capture data in different wavelengths that are not easily accessible from the ground. This data is crucial for understanding Earth's processes, monitoring changes over time, and making informed decisions regarding environmental issues.
