The Clarke Belt, also known as the geostationary orbit, is a circular orbit around the Earth located approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the equator. In this orbit, satellites match the Earth's rotation, allowing them to maintain a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface. This makes it ideal for communication, weather monitoring, and broadcasting satellites, as they can provide continuous coverage to specific areas. The belt is named after the Science Fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, who proposed the concept in 1945.
