The orbit of a geostationary satellite is called __ orbit.

Radius of the earth is 6400 km. Theradius of the orbit of a stationary satellite is about

Give two uses of geostationary satellite.

The number of geostationary, satellite needed for uninterrupted global coverage is ……………..

As you have learnt in the text, a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36,000 km from the surface of the earth. What is the potential due to earth’s gravity at the site of this satellite ? (Take the potential energy at infinity to be zero). Mass of the earth = 6.0Xx10^24 kg , radius = 6400 km.

What is geostationary satellite? Calculate height of geostationary satellite.

Why do we use geostationary satellites for long distance transmission of T.V. signals?
