The term you are looking for is geostationary, or geosynchronous. when a satellite's apparent position relative to the surface of the earth remains the same. of course they are still moving through space, but from an earth based observation they dont go anywhere.

What is meant by a geostationary orbit?
A geosynchronous orbits refers to the orbit of a satellite that matches the rotation of the earth, allowing it to remain above the same line of longitude. The satellite may still move north and south but not east or west. A geostationary orbit is a specific type of geosynchronous orbit directly above the equator. This allows the satellite to remain completely stationary over a fixed point on the earth's surface.
What are the advantages and disadvantages sky?
Primarily the substrate implications of the speaker, but also the negative intonation of the clown's monologue.
Why is your shadow is bigger in the evening?
It's a trick of the mind. The sun and moon when on the horizon is actually the same size as when it's high in the sky. Except when it's higher in the sky we have nothing to compare it to except the sky itself so it appears smaller. The only thing changing is the angle you're viewing it at.
Is mirror is a kind of opaque?
Yes the moon is translucent.....notice how the "craters adopt the same color as the sky....in day time the are blueish and at night they are a darker like the night sky....also there has been many people who have seen planets and stars throw the moon as it goes through its phases....do your research!!
What does a purple sky mean?
If you look out your window and see a purple sky, that could mean that there will be heavy storm the next day. Although, it may just be a simple change in colour because of the way the light from the sun is reflecting off of rain, sleet, snow, etc. However, from a Spiritual perception this means that there was widespread death somewhere in the World. After major death occurs (hundreds, thousands) either the same day or the following day you'll see a fuschia colored or purplish-red sky. This sky is most visible at dusk (afternoon to dark). Orange (fire) skies usually appear after a major, destructive storm.
An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?
That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.
When was Satellite Sky created?
Satellite Sky was created in 1992.
Does the sun rise in the same location in the sky?
NO
Does sky have a channel called sky teacher?
There is a Teachers channel available, though it isn't a Sky channel it is an independent channel that uses the same satellite that Sky use.
How is a sky HD box installed?
A sky hd box is installed in the same way as a regular sky box. You need a sky satellite dish attached to your house, and a cable running to the sky hd box.
Does the moon rise every night at the same location in the sky?
No, it does not
Why are ground stations in continuous contact with satellite in geostationary orbit?
Since the satellite appears fixed in the sky, antennas can also stay in a fixed position to communicate with it, and don't need to be continuously guided.
What is a geostationary satellite State two uses of a geostationary satellite?
In order for a satellite to stay in space and not fall to earth, it has to move in orbit round the earth. Many satellites and the International Space Station are in low orbit and at that distance above the earth orbit the earth in a couple of hours or so. However, if the orbit is around 26000 miles up, then at that distance the time it takes for a satellite to freely orbit is exactly one day or 24 hours. This means that the satellite is always above the same spot on earth, as the earth also takes 24 hours to rotate. Thus, if we could see the satellite in the sky it would not move across the sky like the International Space Station but it would stay in the same place in the sky. This means that they can be used for communication - when you telephone, say, from Europe to the USA then the signals are received by these satellites, amplified and relayed across the world to the receiver of the call. As the satellites are in the same place in the sky all the time, you can call at any time of the night or day. However, if the satellite moved across the sky in low orbit you would only be able to use it when it was in the sky - in other words you could only telephone for a few minutes at a time and then have to wait until it was back in the sky again. Similarly, these satellites are used for navigation in sat-navs. As the satellite is always in the same point in the sky, it can work out your position at any time of the night or day. The term 'geostationary' comes from 'geo' meaning 'earth' (as in geo-graphy, geo-thermal etc) and 'stationary' - meaning not moving i.e. the satellite is 'not moving above earth'.
What are the ratings and certificates for Satellite in the Sky - 1956?
Satellite in the Sky - 1956 is rated/received certificates of: Finland:K-12
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.
Why is a satellite in Geostationary orbit convenient for ground-space-ground relay procedures?
Since the satellite appears fixed in the sky, antennas can also stay in a fixed position to communicate with it, and don't need to be continuously guided.
Does the moon rise at the same time and in the same location in the sky?
that would make an eclipse. so no
