Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit around the Earth where a satellite appears to remain fixed in one position relative to the Earth's surface. This orbit is located approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the equator. Satellites in GEO match the Earth's rotation, allowing them to continuously monitor the same area, which is particularly useful for communication and weather observation. Satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit travel at the same rotational speed as the Earth, completing one orbit every 24 hours. This unique characteristic enables them to provide consistent coverage for television broadcasts, internet services, and other forms of communication, making them essential for modern technology.
