A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at an altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the equator. It remains fixed over a specific point on the Earth's surface, directly above the equator, allowing it to continuously monitor the same geographic area. This unique orbit enables the satellite to provide consistent communication, weather monitoring, and other services to the regions it covers directly beneath it.
