WHAT DOES GEOSTATIONARY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

geostationary

Geostationary orbit

A geostationary orbit, geostationary Earth orbit or geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO), is an orbit whose position in sky remains the same for a stationary observer on earth. This effect is achieved with a circular orbit 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi) above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation. An object in such an orbit has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotational period (one sidereal day), and thus appears motionless at a fixed position in the sky to ground observers. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often placed in geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas which communicate with them do not have to move to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where they stay. Using this characteristic, ocean color satellites with visible sensors (e.g. the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI)) can also be operated in geostationary orbit in order to monitor sensitive changes of ocean environments.

Definition of geostationary in the English dictionary

The definition of geostationary in the dictionary is in a circular equatorial orbit in which it circles the earth once per sidereal day so that it appears stationary in relation to the earth's surface Also: geosynchronous.
