Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Satellites in Sun-synchronous, geosynchronous, and geostationary orbits all move in an eastward direction relative to Earth's surface, not westward. There is no such thing as a "continental orbit" in standard satellite terminology. Therefore, none of the provided options require a satellite to have a westward orbit.
