What is the approximate time taken by the GPS for one complete orbit?(

1.	What is the approximate time taken by the GPS for one complete orbit?(a) 11 minutes(b) 45 minutes(c) 5 hours(d) 12 hours
Answer» The correct option is (d) 12 hours Explanation: The GPS satellites are in approximately 12 hour orbits( 11 hours, 57 minutes, 57.27 seconds) at an altitude of approximately 11,000 nmi. At any point on Earth, 4 satellites are visible at all times.
