Solution

Hi Sayali!

The geostationary satellites orbit the Earth with a period of 24 hours. Therefore, they appear to be stationary and can be used for communication purposes. These satellites are also used for navigation, television broadcasting, and defense and weather forecasting purposes.

Cheers!!
