AI Generated Solution

To determine whether it is possible to place an artificial satellite in an orbit such that it is always visible over Kota, we need to analyze the concept of geostationary satellites and their requirements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Geostationary Satellites**: - A geostationary satellite is one that orbits the Earth at the same rotational speed as the Earth itself. This means that it remains in a fixed position relative to a point on the Earth's surface. - These satellites are placed in an orbit directly above the equator at an altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers. ...
