Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are two main types of satellites: low-Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. Geosynchronous orbit satellites are similar to geostationary with one key difference: Geostationary satellites orbit the equator whereas geosynchronous orbit at a different latitude.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three conditions are required for an orbit to be geostationary: The satellite must travel eastward at the same rotational speed as the earth. The orbit must be circular. The inclination of the orbit must be zero.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earth has 4, 550 satellites in orbit, as of Sept. 1, 2021.
