In order to balance the forces it has to keep falling around curvature Phage, just like the other sats.

All satellites, any satellites, need do is move. Gravity causes them to follow a curved path. If they don't move fast enough they reenter the atmosphere. If they move too fast they leave Earth orbit. Anywhere in between they will orbit at an altitude determined by their velocity.
You see Phage, the other satellites have to fall around curvature to maintain a curved trajectory through space.

Not in the frame of reference of Earth.
The rate of its rotation is. The frame of reference to which you refer.
The Earth is irrelevant?
Didnt make such a claim. Can you say something relevant.
No. It just has to keep moving

Answered. The balance of its momentum and acceleration due to gravity.
How does it maintain its trajectory Phage if its being pulled down by gravity.
Incorrect. Wait, do you think that gravity is flat?
What keeps them moving at the right velocity and curved trajectory is the fact that the Earth curves away from under them and they can keep falling around it.
False. In your frame of reference that other car wasn't moving but it had momentum.
The rate of its rotation is. The frame of reference to which you refer.
That other car don't move relative to you neither.
They dont move relative to Earth so there is no angular momentum relative to Earth.
You just did. See quote above.
Didnt make such a claim.
When have I not?
When are you going to respond Phage?
I did. You are wrong.
Can you say something specific Phage?
Geostationary sats cannot do this. Debunked.

Around the center of gravity of Earth. Which they do. Has nothing to do with moving over a point on Earth.
No Phage, they have to fall around a curve of the direction of gravity, around the Earth in order to maintain a trajectory.

What does that have to do with earth's rotation vs gravity well.
