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 else can I help you with?
How are satellites stationed?
The time for one (stable) orbit is directly linked to the orbital radius. At one particular radius (geostationary), the resultant stable orbit velocity is exactly enough to match the rotation of the earth, keeping the satellite overhead at all times. This geostationary radius is approximately 42 000 km from earths centre and most geostationary satellites are roughly in the equatorial plane.
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.
What is meant by orbital time?
It is the time in which planets orbit the sun.
Why do you think a satellite that transmits TV programmes is put into a geostationary orbit?
This means that the satellite is always in the same place, and thus our dishes can be pointed to the same place all the time and don't need to track the satellite. The same applies to the transmitters. Also one set of 3 satellites can cover the whole Earth.
The path an object takes around another object is called an?
This is an orbit.
What is the radius of a geostationary orbit around Earth?
A geostationary orbit around the Earth has a radius of approximately 42,164 kilometers.
Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?
LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
Are geostationary orbit and equatorial orbit same?
No. Geostationary orbits are equatorial, but equatorial orbits are not necessarily geostationary. To be geostationary, the orbit needs to be equatorial, circular and at the altitude such that one orbit takes one sidereal day (approximately 24 hours 3 minutes 56 seconds. ) An equatorial orbit need only be located above the equator, may have any period and need not be circular.

How can you tell if a satellite is in a geostationary orbit?
me nuh care
How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?
A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.
How do you find the value of r in geostationary orbit?
The answer will depend on what r is meant to be. And since you have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
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
A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?
Geostationary orbit is preferred for satellite communication systems because the satellite appears to be fixed in the sky, allowing for continuous communication with stationary ground stations. This eliminates the need for tracking equipment on the ground. Additionally, the geostationary orbit provides a large coverage area, making it ideal for broadcasting and communication services.
Why communication satellites are stationed geostationary orbits?
the communication satellites take 24 hours to complete their one revolution around the earthso the orbit of revolving satellite is called geostationary orbit.
What is non geostationary?
A geostationary orbit is an orbit of the Earth that is circular, over the equator, and at the right distance to have a period of 24 hours. A satellite in such an orbit appears to hang motionless, always at the same point in the sky Anything else is a non-geostationary orbit. A satellite in one of those appears to move in the sky, so that if you want to communicate with it, you need a movable dish.
Is hubble telescope geostatic?
The Hubble Space Telescope (or HST) is not in a geostationary orbit. The HST is located at an average altitude of 600 Km. Earths' geostationary orbit is at approximately 36 000 Km.
