(This figure is taken from https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/basics/chapter5-1/) Which of the following statements are true about a satellite in a geostationary orbit? A geostationary orbit is one in which a satellite remains above the same point on Earth. This type of orbit would be useful for a communications satellite. The satellite must travel in the opposite direction to the Earth's rotation. The period of the orbit must be equal to one day. Geostationary orbits exist at many different altitudes. The speed of the satellite will depend on the altitude.
