Satellites come in all sizes. Some satellites are built by amateur operators and can be very small, less than one cubic foot! And there's other satellites that are much larger. Modern communications satellites can weigh up to six tons and be the size of a small school bus.

No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.
The earth is pulled by the satellite, but because the gravitational force of the satellite is so small and the Earth is so big the effect is negligable.
telstar 1 was the first satellite to send a live television broadcast
The satellite that carried the first television signal across the ocean was called Telstar. The first Telstar satellite was launched in 1962.

When the Telstar satellite was built, its main problem was the harsh conditions of space, particularly the intense radiation belts around the Earth. This radiation could damage the satellite's electronic components and affect its performance. Additionally, the technology at the time was still relatively new, leading to challenges in ensuring reliable communication and power supply for the satellite's operations. Despite these issues, Telstar successfully demonstrated the feasibility of satellite communications.
The Telstar Communications Satellite, launched in 1962, was the first active communications satellite and transmitted a variety of signals, including television broadcasts, telephone calls, and data communications. It facilitated the first live transatlantic television broadcasts, enabling real-time communication between the United States and Europe. Telstar's successful operation marked a significant milestone in satellite communications, paving the way for modern telecommunications.
1962 - the first Satellite Television signal was relayed from Europe to the telstar satellite over North America
The first satellite put into orbit by the U.S. was called Explorer 1.
