What else can I help you with?
Why do communication and weather satellites always appear at the same place in the sky?
That is because those satellites are in geostationary orbit, which ensures that they stay always above the same spot on the earth's surface. This is possible only if the satellite is placed in orbit at about 22,000 miles above sea level.
Why does a satellite travel over different parts of the earth?
Because most satellites are not 'geostationary'. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth spins on its axis - such as the GPS grid, or TV relay satellites. Most satellites travel faster or slower than the Earth spins.
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.
Where are the satellites?
Satellites are dispersed in various orbits around the Earth, including low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO). They are positioned strategically to provide global coverage for communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and various other services.
What is an artificial object moving around the earth starting with sat?
A satellite is an artificial object that orbits the Earth. Satellites are used for various purposes, including communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. They can be placed in different types of orbits, such as geostationary or low Earth orbit, depending on their intended function.
What devices need satellites in geostationary orbits?
Devices such as telecommunications satellites, weather satellites, and broadcasting satellites rely on geostationary orbits to provide continuous coverage over a specific region on Earth. This allows for consistent and reliable communication, weather monitoring, and broadcasting services.
What are the two main types of satellite orbits?
geostationary andGeosynchronous satellites
What has the author E M Soop written?
E. M. Soop has written: 'Handbook of geostationary orbits' -- subject(s): Artificial satellites, Control systems, Data processing, Geostationary satellites, Orbits, PEPSOC
What type of satellite orbits the earth at 22300 miles above the earth?
A satellite in a geostationary orbit orbits the Earth at around 22,300 miles above the equator. Geostationary satellites appear to be stationary in the sky relative to a fixed point on the Earth's surface, making them ideal for communication and weather monitoring.

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 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.
Why does a satellite travel over different parts of the earth?
Because most satellites are not 'geostationary'. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth spins on its axis - such as the GPS grid, or TV relay satellites. Most satellites travel faster or slower than the Earth spins.
What satellite orbits around the earth and takes the same time it takes for the earth to rotate on its axis?
Only artificial, geostationary satellites.
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.
Why communication satellites have different aerials and positional orbits'?

How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
