Question

Some satellites are called 'geo-stationary' - they seem to hover above the earth, as they remain 36,000 km above a single point on the earth's surface and spin with the earth as it rotates.
How much time would such a satellite take to complete one revolution of the earth?

 

  A 12 hours
  B 24 hours

 C 30 days
  D 365 days

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 24 hours maybe.

Answer 2

Answer:

24 hours

geo-stationary satellite do not move and are stationed at a single point

so the time taken for the satellite to rotate the earth is the same time the earth takes time to revolve around itself
