Best Answer

a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.

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 geosintric satellite?

A geosintric satelite is a satelite who's orbetal track on the earth repeats regularly over the earth equator. But techiquely if the satelite lies over the equator its called a geostationary satelite but a geosintric satelite is a type of geostationary satelite.


Which task would be best performed by a asatellite in GEO?

A satellite that is in GEO, or geostationary orbit, is one that is at a fixed position above the Earth. A task best performed by this type of satellite is one that involves monitoring one area continuously for changes.


In what type of orbit does a satellite follow the direction of the earths rotation seeming to hover over one spot on the equator?

Synchronous orbitThis is where an orbiting body (moon) has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited (planet), and in the same direction of rotation as that body.


What is meant by a geostationary orbit?

A geosynchronous orbits refers to the orbit of a satellite that matches the rotation of the earth, allowing it to remain above the same line of longitude. The satellite may still move north and south but not east or west. A geostationary orbit is a specific type of geosynchronous orbit directly above the equator. This allows the satellite to remain completely stationary over a fixed point on the earth's surface.


What are the two main types of satellites?

The main type of satellites are: 1) Geostationary 2) Polar


What type of satellite orbits the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction as the planet?

A Geosynchronous or Geostationary satellite. The orbit period of a satellite will be longer the further it is away from the planet, so these have to be quite far away to match the rotation period of the earth. They orbit the earth once every 24 hours, so stay in the same apparent position when 'seen' from earth. This means that satellite dishes receiving signals from it can remain still, pointing in one direction rather than having to track it across the sky - a big advantage.
