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.
A satellite in a geostationary orbit orbits the Earth at around 22,300 miles above the equator. Geostationary satellites appear to be stationary in the sky relative to a fixed point on the Earth's surface, making them ideal for communication and weather monitoring.
It depends on which satellite you are talking about. However YES, it is closer than any geostationary weather satellite and it is closer than any GPS satellites.
Because they can't provide worldwide coverage. To cover near-polar areas, inclined orbits are necessaries. Since the geostationary orbit must lay on the equatorial plane, it doesn't suit to fit GPS requirements.
Devices such as telecommunications satellites, weather satellites, and broadcasting satellites rely on geostationary orbits to provide continuous coverage over a specific region on Earth. This allows for consistent and reliable communication, weather monitoring, and broadcasting services.
If a satellite is in geosynchronous orbit, it will take the satellite 24 hours, a day, to orbit the Earth once. This is so because geosynchronous orbit is when a satellite orbit the Earth at such a time, that is is over the Earth at all times.
Geostationary satellite

A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
The height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles).
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
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.
It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.

me nuh care
It is a geostationary operational environmental satellite, though I'm not sure what is does.
