following the direction of Earth's rotation. An object in such an orbit has an orbital period
equal to the Earth's rotational period, one sidereal day, and so to ground observers, it
appears motionless, in a fixed position in the sky. Communications satellites are often
placed in a geostationary orbit so that Earth-based satellite antennas (located on Earth) do
not have to rotate to track them but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky
where the satellites are located. Weather satellites are also placed in this orbit for real-
time monitoring and data collection, and navigation satellites to provide a known calibration
point and enhance GPS accuracy.

B. 398 W
C. 423 W
D. 216.50 W
Ans. D
