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.
