Question

State the necessary conditions for a satellite to be geostationary

Answer 1

A satellite in a geostationary orbit appears to be stationary with respect to the earth, hence the name geostationary. Three conditions are required for an orbit to be geostationary:

The satellite must travel eastward at the same rotational speed as the earth.

The orbit must be circular.

The inclination of the orbit must be zero.
