Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites have the largest footprint because they orbit at a high altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's equator. This high altitude allows a single GEO satellite to cover a large portion of the Earth's surface, much larger than LEO (Low Earth Orbit) or MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellites, which orbit closer to the Earth. VEO is not a commonly recognized orbit classification.
