MCQ
A geostationary satellite
- ✓Revolves about the polar axis
- BHas a time period less than that of the near earth satellite
- CMoves faster than a near earth satellite
- DIs stationary in the space
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Revolves about the polar axis
a
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on earth repeats regularly over points on the earth over time. If such a satellites orbit lies over the equator, it is called a geostationary satellite. Hence, geostationary satellite revolves about the polar axis.
