Question

A geostationary orbit will appear to move in

• A. Equitorial plane
• B. in planes other than equitorial plane
• C. in planes whose angular momentum is not conserved
• D. in planes whose angular momentum is conserved

Answer 1

The correct option is B in planes other than equitorial plane

A geostationary orbit will appear to move in in planes other than equitorial plane. The time period of such satellites will be 24 hrs only , but they will be at rest only with respect to the equitorial plane and hence such orbits are called parking orbits
The option (b) is the correct option
