What kind of orbits is less than 1500 kilometers above the earth?

Orbits less than 1,500 kilometers above the Earth are typically classified as Low Earth Orbits (LEO). Satellites in LEO can range from about 160 kilometers to 2,000 kilometers in altitude and are commonly used for applications such as Earth observation, telecommunications, and scientific research. Due to their proximity, these orbits allow for lower latency communication and higher-resolution imaging but require frequent satellite passes to maintain coverage.
