      Solution

      A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period. Such a satellite returns to the same position in the sky after each sidereal day, and over the course of a day traces out a path in the sky. A special case of geosynchronous satellite is the geostationary satellite, which has a geostationary orbit - a circular geosynchronous orbit directly above the Earth's equator.
