Where is a satellite when it stays at the same point above earths surface?

A satellite is considered to be in geostationary orbit when it stays in a fixed position above a specific point on Earth's surface. It orbits at the same rate as the Earth's rotation, which allows it to remain stationary relative to the ground below. Geostationary satellites are commonly used for communication and weather monitoring purposes.


Why is it possible for two satellites to circle the earth in orbits with identical period but different heights above the earths surface?

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.


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.
