Detailed explanation-1: -An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object takes around another object or center of gravity. Orbiting objects, which are called satellites, include planets, moons, asteroids, and manmade devices. Objects orbit each other because of gravity. Gravity is the force that exists between any two objects with mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Orbits are the result of a perfect balance between the forward motion of a body in space, such as a planet or moon, and the pull of gravity on it from another body in space, such as a large planet or star.
Detailed explanation-3: -Geostationary orbit is a type of geosynchronous orbit. Geosynchronous orbits involve the satellite completing an orbital period in a single day. Sun-synchronous orbits are another type of orbit in which the satellite will always appear to follow the same path around the Earth from the perspective of the Sun.
