Answer 2

Answer:

• A satellite equipped with cameras remains fixed at one height above the ground even as earth rotates and moves in its orbit is called a geostationary satellite.
• In this case, the satellite remains fixed and the earth rotates which will help the satellite to obtain different views of the earth from its fixed camera and also it can capture the earth’s whole surface.
• It is this reason that geostationary satellites are used for communication purposes because the antennas and cameras are directed and fixed towards earth once without the need for frequent tracking or changing of its position.
