What are Geostationary or synchronous satellite ?

Answer»

It is satellite which revolves around the earth, with the same angular speed and in the same direction as the earth rotates about its own axis. Such a satellite should revolve around the earth from west to east in an orbit concentric and coplanar with the equatorial plane of the earth at a height of 36,000 km. 

Three geostationary satellites with a mutual angular separation of 60˚ can be used to communicate between any two points of the entire earth.
