Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites require the highest number of satellites for global coverage because they orbit closer to the Earth, covering a smaller area per satellite compared to those in medium-earth-orbit (MEO) or geostationary-earth-orbit (GEO), necessitating a larger constellation to achieve global coverage.
