Answer:
The 'orbit of a polar satellite' is elliptical.
Explanation:
- This is because polar satellites follow an orbital path that goes around the poles either over or near the poles on each revolution.
- The polar orbits rotate from north to the South Pole of the earth with the earth rotating beneath it.
- The polar orbit has an inclination of 90 degrees.
- The 'polar-orbiting satellites' are mostly geostationary or geosynchronous satellites and are best used for mapping and photographing the earth.
- Hence they are used for communication, navigation, and weather forecasting purposes.
