Geostationary orbit is at a height of ________

Solution (By Examveda Team)

A geostationary orbit is a special kind of orbit around the Earth.
Imagine a satellite staying in the same spot in the sky as the Earth rotates!
For this to happen, the satellite needs to be at a very specific height.
This height is about 36,000 kilometers (km) above the Earth's equator.
If it were any lower, the satellite would orbit faster than the Earth's rotation.
If it were any higher, it would orbit slower.
The other options are much too low to maintain a geostationary orbit.
So, 36,000 km is the magic number!
