Answer:

35 786 km

Geostationary orbit (GEO)

In order to perfectly match Earth's rotation, the speed of GEO satellites should be about 3 km per second at an altitude of 35 786 km. This is much farther from Earth's surface compared to many satellites.

Answer:

A geosynchronous orbit is a high Earth orbit that allows satellites to match Earth's rotation. ... This is because of the effect of Earth's gravity; it pulls more strongly at satellites that are closer to its center than satellites that are farther away
