MCQ

Which of the following are true?

A
A polar satellite goes around the earth’s pole in northsouth direction.
B
A geostationary satellite goes around the earth in eastwest direction.
C
A geostationary satellite goes around the earth in westeast direction.
✓
Both $A$ and $C$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Both $A$ and $C$

The satellite which appears stationary relative to earth is called the geostationary satellite. It revolves around the earth in the west$-$east direction with the same angular velocity as done by the earth about its own axis in the west$-$east direction. A polar satellite revolves around the earth's pole in north$-$south direction. It is independent of earth's rotation. Option $(a), (c)$ are correct.
