Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given description matches with the characteristics of a Sun-synchronous orbit. It is a type of polar orbit with an altitude of approximately 700-850 km. Satellites in this orbit maintain a consistent angle between the satellite, the sun, and the Earth's surface, allowing for consistent lighting conditions for imaging and monitoring purposes.
