Flat earth theory?

So it is not moving around the Earth. It is moving through space.

Why can't it does both at the same time?
Space and "around Earth" can be the same, no need to make a distinction.

If it moved around the Earth it wouldnt appear stationary, would it, sapien82 ? This is getting embarrassing.

Tag word "appear". You do know exactly what physics allow, but you want to play a game.

however the satellite is still moving and therefore is considered still in orbit !

You said it orbits the Earth. It doesnt. Changing the goal posts now are we.

what part of movement dont you get ?

You tell me. I didnt deny movement. Why is it impossible for you people to respond to what is actually said?

Define your distinction between "movement" and "orbiting"?

Is "orbiting" and "orbiting around earth" different to each other? How?

Why are you objecting? It does not move around Earth. Are you saying it moves around Earth?

If not, why are you talking?

For starters the words "around Earth".

Wow.

And NASA's definition of orbit.

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

Is a geostationary satellite going around another object?

Why do you keep arguing against NASA?

What is this random rambling? Say something relevant. You guys are simply rambling.

Meh. It's not my fault you can't (or don't want to) understand the simple concept that I laid out to you in my post.

I've already explained to him the difference between a normal satellite which completes a full elliptic orbit of the earth
and a geostationary satellite which just orbits the earth but remains fixed in position to the observer

he doesnt understand that so continues to use semantics to say that he is right and the rest of the world is wrong

It moves around the Earth. A person on the Moon tracking a geostationary satellite would see it circling the Earth -- i.e., orbiting.

You guys are just too much.

I said i would continue to give you this objective factual information until you get it , but now I dont actually care if you do understand it because its plain to see that you dont get it and wont ever get it, or are simply just a stubborn troll.

either way , all you have done is illustrate how much of a fool you are !

Aww the best

maybe one day you can fly in a rocket into space and orbit the earth yourself , or better yet goto a geostationary space station , and watch other satellites orbit the earth whilst you too orbit the earth

Is this an admission you understand the concept that a child could grasp ?

or are you just being a wee nyaff ?

Ditto!

a reply to: sapien82

So you maintain that a geostationary satellite orbits the Earth even though it doesnt move relative to the Earth.

This has been pointed out 200 times yet you all still keep posting the same contradiction over and over again. You guys are just amazing. It's really special whats going on here.

In the sense that it is so visible now.

Mate look at these links, and read them , maybe it will click

the two are different , but they still orbit the earth

just not the way that you understand it

Elliptic orbit

Geostationary Orbit

a reply to: sapien82

orbit the earth

Not a geostationary satellite.

just not the way that you understand it

Are you refering to the way the definition of orbit explains orbiting around the Earth?

Anything else is just drivel.

a reply to: InfiniteTrinity

it does move relative to the earth

it moves in unison with the earths rotational speed and is therefore orbiting relative to the earth


its not a contradiction , its is still in orbit around the earth and still moves relative to the earth

a reply to: InfiniteTrinity

right so your real problem is with the English language then and your understanding of it

seriously mate come back when you at least graduate from primary school !

a reply to: sapien82

No its me pointing out once more that you are posting the same dumb contradiction again. A child could grasp the contradiction, especially after having it pointed out 200 times, 2 mins ago.

Totally oblivious.

Almost scary to witness this level of confusion over such a clear issue.

Is that the place where they teach children punctuation and capitalisation? What happened? Even children can write better than you can.






So you maintain that an object that doesnt move relative to the Earth, is also moving relative to the Earth. At the same time.

Got it.

Does the earth rotate about an axis every 24 hours?
