  • orbiit, millel satelliit teeb tiiru ümber Maa 24 tunniga, jäädes Maal asuva punkti suhtes paigale
  • orbit in which a satellite performs one rotation around the planet in 24 hours while remaining over the same point on the surface of the Earth
    Good to know

geostationary orbit preferred
Usage examples
  • The geostationary orbit of 36,000 km from the Earth's equator is best known for its many satellites which are used for various forms of telecommunication, including television. Signals from these satellites can be sent all the way around the world.

geostationary Earth orbit
Usage examples
  • Telecommunications satellites are usually placed in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO). GEO is a circular orbit 35 786 kilometres above Earth's equator and follows the direction of Earth's rotation. An object in GEO has an orbital period equal to Earth's rotational period, so to ground observers it appears motionless at a fixed position in the sky.
