GEO (Geostationary) satellites remain located over the same point of Earth at all times. They orbit at the same rate as the Earth's rotation, which keeps them in a fixed position above the Equator. LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites orbit much closer to the Earth's surface and move quickly across the sky, while MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) and HEO (Highly Elliptical Orbit) satellites orbit at higher altitudes and have longer orbital periods, but still do not remain fixed over one point on Earth.
