What is geostationary satellite ? State the necessary condition for a satellite to be geostationary |
| Answer» The sattelites which revolve around the earth along the equator are called geostationary sattelites. Their time period is same as that of the planet around which it revolves.The necessary condition for a sattelite to be geostationary is that -- the necessary centrifugal force must be provided by the gravitational force of the planet such that these two forces cancel out each other and the sattelite is suspended in the space. | |
