Answer:
Description: When a geosynchronous satellite is placed directly above the Equator with a circular orbit and angular velocity identical to that of the Earth, the satellite is known as a geostationary satellite
Explanation:
These satellites appear to be stationary above a particular point which is due to the synchronization. This type of satellite provides a distinct benefit of fixing the receiving antennas at one place, hence making them more economical than regular tracking antennas. Over the years, these satellites have helped in revolutionizing the global communications, weather forecasting and television broadcasting. When the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite is not aligned directly over the equator, the orbit is known as an inclined orbit.
