Q. What is the approximate height of a Geostationary satellite ?
Answer: 35000 kms
Notes: The approximate height of a geostationary satellite from the Earth's surface is 36,000 km. Geostationary satellites are man-made satellites that orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers. They move in the equatorial plane in the same direction as the Earth rotates. As a result, they appear to be motionless in relation to the Earth's surface.  Most satellites orbiting the Earth do so at altitudes between 160 and 2,000 kilometers. This orbital regime is called low Earth orbit, or LEO. Satellites in LEO typically take between 90 minutes and 2 hours to complete one full orbit around the Earth.
