Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GEO stands for Geostationary Earth Orbit, which means that the satellite is orbiting at the same rate as the Earth's rotation. This results in the satellite appearing to be stationary in the sky relative to a fixed point on the ground, making it ideal for applications such as weather monitoring or communication. LEO, MEO, and NEO satellites orbit at lower altitudes and do not maintain a fixed position in the sky.
