What else can I help you with?
An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?
That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.
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.
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.
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
A satellite orbiting around the Earth's poles is in a polar orbit. This type of orbit allows the satellite to pass over different parts of the Earth as it rotates below. Polar orbits are often used for Earth observation and surveillance satellites.
What orbit does a satellite stay in the same location in the sky?
A satellite that stays in the same location in the sky is in a geostationary orbit. This orbit is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's equator and matches the Earth's rotation period, allowing the satellite to remain fixed over a specific point on the surface. This is crucial for applications like communication and weather monitoring, where a constant view of the same area is needed.
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.

What is a object that travels in an orbit around earth?
A satellite, or the moon.
What is pogee?
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
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 are the names of some satellites currently in earths orbit?
Sutnick was the very first Satellite that was put into orbit.=)
What is the name of the satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
Sputnigg Jr
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
Why does it take 24 hours for a communications satellite to orbit Earth?
They take 24 hours to orbit earth so they will always be in the same place in the sky. This makes it easier for setting up satellite dishes for example, since they have to be pointed toward the satellite.
What is a satellite and why is the moon referred to as the earths satellite?
satellites are things that orbit other things in space, for example the moon orbits the earth and is therefore the earth's satellite
