Is it possible to put a satellite in a “geostationary” orbit around Venus? You can assume that Venus is spherical, that its sidereal day is 5832 hours, its mass is 4.867×1023 kg and that the radius of its Hill sphere is 1.0042x106 km (Hill sphere of a planet is the region in which it dominates the attraction of satellites, a satellite has to be inside that sphere to remain around the planet)
