Question

What are the characteristics of Geo - stationary satellites?

Answer 1

Satellites at very high altitudes, which view the same portion of the Earth's surface at all times have geostationary orbits. These geostationary satellites, at altitudes of approximately 36,000 kilometres, revolve at speeds which match the rotation of the Earth so they seem stationary, relative to the Earth's surface.

It is at a height of 36000km from the Earth's surface.

Its time period is same as that of earth.

It revolves around the earth from West to East direction
