WHAT DOES GEOSYNCHRONOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

geosynchronous

Geosynchronous orbit

A geosynchronous orbit is an orbit around the Earth with an orbital period of one sidereal day, matching the Earth's sidereal rotation period. The synchronization of rotation and orbital period means that, for an observer on the surface of the Earth, an object in geosynchronous orbit returns to exactly the same position in the sky after a period of one sidereal day. Over the course of a day, the object's position in the sky traces out a path, typically in the form of an analemma, whose precise characteristics depend on the orbit's inclination and eccentricity. A special case of geosynchronous orbit is the geostationary orbit, which is a circular geosynchronous orbit at zero inclination. A satellite in a geostationary orbit appears stationary, always at the same point in the sky, to ground observers. Popularly or loosely, the term "geosynchronous" may be used to mean geostationary. Specifically, geosynchronous Earth orbit may be a synonym for geosynchronous equatorial orbit, or geostationary earth orbit.
