LEO os called Low earth orbit, MEO is called Medium Earth Orbit and GEO is called Geostationary orbit. LEO are about 500 Km to 1500 Km above the earth, so the delay is very small and the losses is small too. MEO are installed at 5000 to 12000 km above the earth and generally used for navigation communications like GPS. GEO is about 35800 Km above the equator, the delay and losses are greater, but the advantages is more coverage (it covers 40% of the earth) and there no need to track the satellite, so the earth terminal is cheaper.
See the following figure which describes them nicely
I would like to add few additional information as follows:
1. Since LEO satellite is nearer to planet compare to MEO and GEO, it has small cell (or foot print).
2. Due to small cell coverage, more number of LEO satellite need to install to cover the planet(for instance earth).
3. LEO moves very fast compare to MEO, so very frequent hand-off is required between two LEO satellites to avoid interrupt for ongoing calls between two users.
4. GPS satellite uses medium earth orbit.
5. Satellites which use geostationary orbit known as GEO

What is the zodiac sign for August 20th?
LEO!
Is Leo Genn another name for Robert Newton?
No - they are quite separate actors who happened to look very similar.
Where did Leo gerstenzang invent the Q-tip?
Leo Gerstenzang invented the Q-tip in his home in Corona, Queens, New York City. It was originally called "Baby Gays" and was designed for cleaning babies' ears.
What was the first thermosetting plastic used to make?
Dr. Leo Baekeland made the first thermosetting plastic. He made this in the year of 1909 and it was originally called Bakelite.
Where's the thing related to the space shipin megaman star force Leo?
Go into the Museum in AMAKEN. Read the sign on the "Space Colony" and you'll realise there is a wave hole there. Pulse into the Space Colony Comp. Work out the rest for yourself.
Differences between geo meo Leo heo?
they are types of orbits of the artificial satellites:- Low earth orbit (LEO): about 160 Km to 640 Km above the earth, so the delay is very small and the losses is small too. Medium Earth orbit (MEO): 1600 to 4200 km above the earth, and uses for navigation communications like GPS. Geostationary orbit (GEO): about 36000 Km above the equator, the delay and losses are greater, but the advantages is more coverage (it covers 40% of the earth) and there no nedd to track the satellite, so the earth terminal is cheaper, but the GEO is more expensive than MEO and LEO. GEO uses for Satellite TV Broadcasting.
Natural satellites of Leo major?
Léo Major was a distinguished soldier - not a planet that might have satellites.

What is the difference between Lee Nailing and Leo Nailing?
Lee is older than Leo. Since he is older, he should be responsible.

Uses of artificial satellites pathways artificial satellites can take geostationary and low polar orbit?
The altitude of the satellite is critical depending on the purpose of the satellite. Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are fairly close to the Earth, and is good for photographic reconnaissance; it's a lot easier to get a good photo from 140 miles up as opposed to 23,000 miles up. The LEO satellite passes quickly over the surface, and isn't visible above the horizon for more than a few minutes per orbit, so LEO satellites work poorly for communications purposes. Geo-synchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of about 23,000 miles, and orbit the Earth in 24 hours - meaning, they orbit the Earth in the same time that it takes for the Earth to spin once. So a GEO satellite that's over the equator will appear to be in a fixed position in the sky, and doesn't appear to move. These are excellent for ground communications and relay purposes, because the ground antenna doesn't need to move; it's always pointed at the satellite. Polar orbit satellites will pass over every point on the Earth; the satellite is going around the world while the Earth spins beneath it.
What is the difference between strict and limited inerrancy?
This is an essay question for a religion course at St. Leo university. Do not answer this question.
Which atmosphere are satellites found in?
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites are defined as any artificial object between 160 km and 2000 km altitude. Any satellite from 160 km to 690km are in the Thermosphere.Any satellite in the region between 690km to 10,000 kmaltitude are in the Exosphere.10,000 km is considered the very top of the atmosphere. Any satellites above this altitude is not considered in the atmosphere. Geostationary satellites for example are at an altitude of 35,786 km.
What is one disadvantage that objects in LEO have?
Moving data across constellations of other satellites will be complex. Technology for that is still untested
LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
What constellation is between Leo and Ursa Major?
It is Leo Minor.
Where satellites orbit?
Satellites orbit in several different regions of space in the sky. Orbits fall into 3 main categories based on distance: Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an altitude of 160 - 2000 km, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at an altitude of 2000 - 35000 km, and High Earth Orbit (HEO) at altitudes greater than 36000 km. One special orbit in which a large number of satellites have been placed into is a geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO), which is at the exact distance such that the satellite orbits the earth at the same angular velocity at which the earth spins. Most satellites orbit in circular orbits. A few are in elliptical orbits in which their distance varies.
