Chapter 11, Problem 19RQ

Explanation of Solution

Geosynchronous Earth Orbit(GEO):

• It is an Orbit around Earth used to rotate by a Satellite with an Orbital Period same as rotation of Earth on the axis.
• Satellite used to turn through this orbit as Earth does.
• Consequently, at every point in their orbit, the satellites maintain a constant distance from a specific point on the Earth’s equator.
  • This orbit position above Earth’s equator is a valuable spot for monitoring communications, weather and surveillance...
