How do satellites help us?
Natural satellites, we only have one - the Moon - helps us by providing a bit of moonlight at night, and also plays a role in stabilising the Earth on its axis. Artificial satellites helps us with navigation, communication, weather forecasts, pictures of the Earth and surveying.

What are satellies used for?
artificial satellites are used for scientists to study planets and take pictures and learn about space. natural satellites are just pretty much there, they rotate the planets just like our planets rotate the sun. the moon is one of earth's natural satellites.
Is the earth a satelite?

Why are many satellites geo stationary?
Because they only need to transmit to certain parts of the planet. TV relay satellites for example - need to stay in one place to beam the pictures back to earth. If they orbited the earth, the signal would be lost as it crossed the horizon. Another example is the global GPS system. The satellites that provide the information for GPS must remain in one place - otherwise they wouldn't give accurate information to the user.

What is isochronous satellites?
An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.
