We must first understand the difference between distance and displacement :
Distance is how much an object has covered.
Displacement is the overall change in position of an object.
The 18000 km is the radius of the circular movement :
The area is thus :
3.142 × 18000² = 1.018008 × 10⁻¹¹ Km
The displacement = 0
This is because the satellite comes back to the same position after one complete revolution meaning the overall change in position is zero.
