Space Physics
A geostationary orbit is a specific type of geosynchronous orbit where a satellite appears to be stationary relative to a point on the Earth's surface. This unique characteristic is achieved by orbiting the Earth at an altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers above the equator, with an orbital period that matches the Earth's rotation period of about 24 hours.
congrats on reading the definition of geostationary orbit. now let's actually learn it.
