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


How people learned about the far side of the moon?

simple, we sent a satellite to orbit the moon and take pictures


Was sputnik a spy satellite?

No, it was far too crude to have any value as a spy satellite. Basically it was an experiment to see if things could be launched into orbit and made to function there.


How far must a geostationary communication satellite orbit?

Geo-stationary communication satellites are 35,768 Km far from earth surface at an equatorial latitiude.


What satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?

Its called a geostationary satellite. Its quite far out, meaning its 24 hour orbit is quite long when compared with satellites closer in to earth. Is appears stationary in our skies, in the same spot throughout its orbit. This makes it a lot easier to track, a fixed dish can be used.


How far can a satellite go into orbit?

The commonly used altitude classifications are Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and High Earth Orbit (HEO). Low Earth orbit is any orbit below 2000 km, and Medium Earth Orbit is any orbit higher than that but still below the altitude for geosynchronous orbit at 35786 km. High Earth Orbit is any orbit higher than the altitude for geosynchronous orbit.


Why does a satellite in orbit around the earth not fall into the earth?

Anything in "orbit" is falling into the object that its orbiting ... and constantly missing. Because by the time the (orbiting) object has fallen far enough to hit ... the object it is orbiting has moved far enough so that they miss each other.


How long does it take a salellite to orbit the earth?

It depends on the distance from earth and the mass of the satellite. If close, like the international space station, it could orbit every two hours or so. If far out then it may take 24 hours. If very far out, like the moon, it could take several weeks.


Question 21 A satellite on the geostationary orbit can cover as much as half of the earth's surface.?

Yes; it is fairly far away, so it can cover almost half the Earth's surface - but not quite.


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.


What would happen if Earth had a highly elliptical orbit when it gets as far as a light year from the sun and as close at a million miles from the sun?

If the earth moves from its orbit, might be it will be permanently dark to earth till we reaches the another solar system.


If nibiru has an orbit of 3600 years how far out is its orbit?

it does not exist.
