Artificial satellites orbit the Earth.

Some are geostationary - means that their orbital period matches the revolutions of the Earth, keeping them in the same spot over the surface all the time.

Other travels roughly pole-to-pole, allowing them to cover the whole Earth as the Earth rotates beneath them.
