Which is the height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately?

The height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles).


How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?

A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.


A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?

Geostationary orbit is preferred for satellite communication systems because the satellite appears to be fixed in the sky, allowing for continuous communication with stationary ground stations. This eliminates the need for tracking equipment on the ground. Additionally, the geostationary orbit provides a large coverage area, making it ideal for broadcasting and communication services.


What is a non Geo stationary satellite?

Non Geo stationary satellite is that satellite which has different angular velocity from earth and not placed on the height of 36000 Km from the earth. If you use Geo stationary satellite than only 3 satellites are enough to cover whole world. most of satellite are geostationary and they are(most of them) active satellites too.


A geostationary satellite appears standstill to a viewer on the equator of earth?

Yes, that's correct. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same rate that the Earth rotates, so it appears to be stationary relative to an observer on the ground at the equator. This means it always stays above the same point on the Earth's surface.

Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?

A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.

How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?

Does a satellite in a geostationary orbit move across the sky from east to west?

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.


Why perfect geostationary satellite can not be made?

It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.
