Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This special, high Earth orbit is called geosynchronous . A satellite in a circular geosynchronous orbit directly over the equator (eccentricity and inclination at zero) will have a geostationary orbit that does not move at all relative to the ground.
Detailed explanation-2: -A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35, 800 kilometers (22, 300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east).
