Question

What is the height range of polar satellites?

• A. 700 to 1000 kilometers
• B. 900 to 1200 kilometers
• C. 300 to 600 kilometers
• D. 500 to 800 kilometers

Answer 1

The correct option is D 500 to 800 kilometers

Polar satellites orbit at a lower altitude. On an average, their height ranges between 500 to 800 kilometers. This means that polar satellites can capture higher resolution images than geostationary satellites.
