Q: Answer-The height of a geo-stationary satellite from the Earth's surface is approximately :

A geostationary orbit is a circular orbit 35,786 kilometres above the Earths equator and following the direction of the Earths rotation. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often given geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas that communicate with them do not have to move to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where they stay.
