Solution
The correct option is B False
- It is not possible to put an artificial satellite into orbit in such a way that it will remain directly over New Delhi because an artificial satellite can only be visible stationary when the satellite is revolving in an orbit which is concentric and coplanar concerning the equatorial plane and it has a period of revolution 24 hours and the satellite should be revolving from west to east around the earth.
- Location of New Delhi does not lie in the equatorial plane. Therefore, it is not possible to put an artificial satellite into orbit in such a way that it will remain directly over New Delhi.
Hence, the given statement is False
