Question

Give the differences between Geostationary and Polar satellites.​

Answer 1

❣️☺️$</p><p>{\huge {\overbrace {\underbrace {\green { Answer }}}}}$☺️❣️

Geostationary satellites are at a height (about 22,236 miles) above the Earth at the Equator so that they appear to be stationary above a point on a (rotating) Earth.

A polar satellite passes over the poles (both north and south), at any altitude in space, which means it does not appear to be stationary over any point

hope this helps uh☺️

Answer 2

Answer:

Geostationary Satellites have a circular orbit that lies in the plane of the earth’s equator. As dictated by orbital mechanics, the lower the satellite flies, the faster it will complete an orbit. At a height of about 35,786 Kilometers, the time period required is exactly 24 Hours. By placing the satellite at this height in the equatorial plane and giving it an west to east direction, we ensure that the satellite always stays above a specific point on the equator.

Polar satellites

Polar Satellites are a type of sun-synchronous satellites. It means that they maintain a constant angle with respect to the Sun at all times. In case of polar satellites, the orbital plane contains the Earth’s axis so the satellite passes over the Earth’s poles as seen in the illustration.
