Q
Q: If a satellite is in a geostationary orbit, what is its orbital period?
Solution:
A geostationary satellite has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotation period, which is 24 hours.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a geostationary orbit is. It means the satellite stays in the same position relative to the Earth.
Step 2: Know that for a satellite to be geostationary, it must orbit the Earth at the same rate that the Earth rotates.
Step 3: The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Step 4: Therefore, a geostationary satellite must also take 24 hours to complete one orbit around the Earth.
Step 5: Conclude that the orbital period of a geostationary satellite is 24 hours.
