Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites are positioned in orbit in such a way that they appear stationary relative to a specific point on the Earth's surface. This is because they orbit the Earth at the same rate that the Earth rotates, thus maintaining a constant position over the equator at approximately 35,786 kilometers (about 22,236 miles) above Earth's surface.
