Hi List I know these may be silly questions but the answers are important to me... Does the term "Geostationary" mean that the satellite remains fixed in orbit above a geographical position on Earth? (i.e. orbits at such a speed as to appear "still" in the sky). If this is not true, are there such satellites and what is the correct terminology? If such do exist can someone suggest any that might be visible from my location listed below.
