Question
At what height, geostationary satellites are placed
above the earth surface?Solution
Geostationary satellites are placed at a height of 36000 km above the Earth's surface Geostationary satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude where their orbital period matches the Earth's rotation period. This height is approximately 36000 km, allowing the satellite to appear stationary relative to a fixed point on the Earth's surface.
