What is the satellite that always stays over one spot on Earth?
A "geo-synchronous" orbit is one in which a satellite orbits in exactly 23 hours 56 minutes, the same rate at which the Earth spins. So while the satellite is moving and the Earth is moving, they are moving together at the same angular speed. This only works for equatorial orbits.
What is the same between a satellite and a space probe?
A satellite and space probe both orbit Earth (sometimes in geosynchronous orbits).
What is geosatelite?
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on the Earth repeats regularly over points on the Earth over time.
Why do artificial satellites not fall?
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
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 a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
What is a geosynchronous orbit?
In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place on Earth all the time.
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.

How could you tell if a satellite dish was tracking a geosynchronous satellite or one in low Earth orbit?
A satellite dish tracking a geosynchronous satellite would remain fixed in a specific direction, as geosynchronous satellites maintain a constant position relative to the Earth's surface. In contrast, a dish tracking a satellite in low Earth orbit would need to move continuously to follow the satellite's rapid movement across the sky, as these satellites orbit the Earth at much lower altitudes and complete an orbit in about 90 minutes. Thus, the motion of the dish can indicate the type of satellite being tracked.
What is the same between a satellite and a space probe?
A satellite and space probe both orbit Earth (sometimes in geosynchronous orbits).
What is look angle?
the look angles are the angles to which an earth station must be pointed to communicate with the geosynchronous satellite
Would a satellite that relays television signals most likely be in Low Earth Obit or in Geosynchronous?
Most, if not all of them, are in geosynchronous orbit. If they weren't, the viewer would only be able to watch TV when the satellite was over that part of their hemisphere. (about 1/3 of the time)
What types of satellites are used to provide satellite Internet access?
A: Low Earth orbit, B: Medium Earth orbit, & D: Geosynchronous orbit.
What is geosatelite?
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on the Earth repeats regularly over points on the Earth over time.
What is special about a geosynchronous satellite?
Its stable orbit and velocity is exactly enough to keep up with Earth's rotation. From Earth's surface, looking up, a geosynchronous satellite would appear not to move; essentially keeping it overhead, and making it permanaently available to bounce communication / TV signals off.Related Information:Moving from the earth outwards, only one orbital velocity will sustain stable orbit, at one particular radius.
Why are communication satellites in geosynchronous orbits What is the prime advantage of lEOs?
Regarding the communications satellite orbit; a geosynchronous orbit is one that keeps the satellite in one position in the sky. It is a spot in space about 22,000 miles away that the satellite will orbit the earth once a day, so it is moving the same speed as the earth rotates and appears to never move. If your dish network satellite was not in geosynchrous orbit, you would need a device to turn your dish and there would be periods that the satellite would be over a different part of the world, like the sun and moon. They would slip over the horizon and you wouldn't be able to watch TV for a while.
