Synchronous orbit

This is where an orbiting body (moon) has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited (planet), and in the same direction of rotation as that body.

There are no natural satellites doing that, but several artificial ('man-made') ones do.

If they're over the equator, then they appear motionless in the sky from hour to hour and

from day to day, and the 'dish' antennas on the ground that use them for communication

don't have to move to follow the satellite.

Orbit matching earth's rotational period . . . "Geosynchronous" orbit.

If that orbit also happens to be over the equator, then it's "Geostationary".

This orbit is called "geosynchronous", meaning that a satellite in this position orbits in the same time as the Earth itself rotates. "Geo" = Earth, "syn-" =same, "chronos" = time

Who is kish from Tokyo mew mew series?

Kish is the second of the aliens to return to earth. Introduced at the end of the first volume of the manga, Kish primarily acts in a playful and carefree manner, seeming to enjoying fighting with the Mew Mews and treating it like a game.Throughout the series, Kish develops increasingly stronger feelings for Ichigo, first regarding her as an "interesting toy" (that he would kill for his leader), and obsessing over her. Kish eventually kidnaps Ichigo, confesses his love, and then demands that she cry because he loves seeing her being frightened. Kish again declares his love to Ichigo towards the end of the series, but attacks and begins strangling her while crying when she rejects him again. He eventually releases her after asking how he can make her love him. Kish is killed after turning against Deep Blue by protecting Ichigo, but is revived with the power of the mew aqua after Deep Blue's defeat. He returns with Pie and Tart to their planet after wishing Ichigo happiness and stealing one final kiss.
