It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.

What are various satellite sub-systems?
how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface
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 the altitude of the lowest flying satellite?
the lowest flying satilite is DAN 100kl above the earths surface
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
Why is it important that a satellite be above Earths atmosphere?
Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.
Where is an object that is ''stationary'' relative to earths surface moving fastest relative to space?
geosynchronous orbit. The below is not completely accurate but close enough to state the concept and basic practice: A ring of spots above the equator where you can park your satellite and it will stay above the same spot. For a more accurate understanding reading on this subject and the related Lagrange orbits will be best.

What is true about plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earths focus?
The epicenter
Is Polar Orbit a type of Geosynchronous orbit?
No. A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite stays approximately stationary with respect to a point on the earth's surface. This is not possible in any orbits which are not in the equatorial plane of the earth. For example, in polar orbits the satellites will move around the earth from above the north pole to above the south pole and then back to above the north pole. Clearly, this isn't stationary relative to the earth's surface.
Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?
They form far above the earths surface.
What is true about all plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
