Q: Which of the following statements about geostationary satellites is true?
Solution:
Geostationary satellites have an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotation period, which is 24 hours.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a geostationary satellite is. It is a satellite that orbits the Earth.
Step 2: Know that the Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours.
Step 3: Realize that for a satellite to be geostationary, it must orbit the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates.
Step 4: This means the satellite takes 24 hours to complete one full orbit around the Earth.
Step 5: Therefore, the statement that geostationary satellites have an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotation period (24 hours) is true.
