Flat earth theory?

So you have still not noticed the thread title?

You really are incapable of thinking for yourself, arent you. Yes all these sources say they orbit.

I am pointing out that this is impossible.

A geostationary satellite doesnt move relative to the surface of the Earth. It doesnt go around the Earth. Its geostationary.

An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one.

A geostationary satellite doesnt move around the Earth so it cannot be orbiting, according to NASA itself.

Instead of posting more sources that say its orbiting, explain the huge contradiction.

So all these satellites are not in geostationary orbits as we speak then or what?

What is your point? You were discussing another topic with me.

Can you explain how a geostationary satellite can go around the Earth?

Geostationary orbits cannot exist.

Yes. Myself and others have already explained this to you.

a reply to: oldcarpy

Carpy please you are clueless.

You cannot explain how a satellite that doesnt move relative to the surface moves around the surface.

a reply to: InfiniteTrinity

The orbital mechanics that govern how objects in space behave are well established and they work as evidenced by all the satellites that have ever been placed in orbit around Earth, and probes sent to other planets in the solar system too.

So, what is your point? Do you even have one? Or is pointless argument more your thing?

Really, how can you after reading the above sentence still argue against it. Its over.

Yes, I have. You cannot or will not understand it. It orbits at the same speed the Earth spins. It would probably be easier to explain this to my cats than to you, and probably more fun, too.

What is "over", exactly? What is your point? Do you have one?

a reply to: oldcarpy

Pure denial lol. Its over for the concept of geostationary orbit.

It orbits at the same speed the Earth spins.

You mean it doesnt move relative to surface.

In order to orbit it has to move relative to the surface which it doesnt.

The blatant contradiction just goes over your head?

a reply to: InfiniteTrinity

You are posting in a Flat Earth thread. So either post something about FE theory or go post your own thread about whatever your point about satellites might be.

Not really. So, are all these satellites fake or something? Do you have a point to make about FE theory or, indeed, anything at all?

ts over for the concept of geostationary orbit.

Is it? What, do they not exist? Come on, out with it, man.

a reply to: oldcarpy

Are you a mod?

whatever your point about satellites might be.

Trust me, everybody else got it by now. How could they not. There's a reason why you are the only one still talking like you got something on this.

How can you still be asking such a question. A geostationary orbit is an impossibility. The two words are in direct opposition.

If you want to argue about the implications you first have to concede that Houston has a problem.

What Is a Geosynchronous Orbit?
By Elizabeth Howell 24 April 2015

www.space.com...

A geosynchronous orbit is a high Earth orbit that allows satellites to match Earth's rotation. Located at 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above Earth's equator, this position is a valuable spot for monitoring weather, communications and surveillance.

“Because the satellite orbits at the same speed that the Earth is turning, the satellite seems to stay in place over a single longitude, though it may drift north to south,” NASA wrote on its Earth Observatory website.

What do you not get about a geostationary satellite orbiting around the earth at a velocity that matches the earths rotation.

A geostationary satellite is not at rest. It has velocity to stay in it’s orbit around earth. If you wanted to catch a geostationary satellite, you would have to match its velocity.

It’s still orbiting the very center point of the earth. Your not very good at this relative stuff.

a reply to: neutronflux

No its not.

Again, you don’t get the concept of relative.

2) Some satellites orbit at a distance that puts them in what is called geosynchronous orbit. At this distance, the satellites orbit once per day, and so they stay above a fixed point on the Earth. Geosynchronous orbits have a radius of . What is the gravitational field strength (and acceleration due to gravity) at geosynchronous orbit?
Answer: The gravitational field strength at the geosynchronous orbital radius can be calculated using the formula:

The value of r of interest is :

See math from cited source...

The gravitational field strength at the geosynchronous orbital radius is approximately . This is equivalent to an acceleration due to gravity of .

What do you not get about “ At this distance, the satellites orbit once per day, ”
