Are their geostationary satellites above earth providing services at this second.
Oh this one again.
Unlikely since geostationary orbits dont exist.
Surprised?

On the fact that in order to orbit, the one object has to move relative to the other object. Orbit is basically the opposite of what a geostationary satellite does.
Have your heard this before somewhere?

a geostationary satellite is still in orbit around the earth
But do you know what "geostationary" means?
Rofl.
and its been a trial to keep the thread going, and others have tried to derail it and get it closed down , and its not going to be you that does it !
Geostationary when spoken in context of satellites in orbit , means that the satellite has a fixed position above the earth , yet continues to orbit ( as in move around the earth ) however it does so at the same speed the earth rotates , giving the illusion that it isnt moving at all to the observer.

But it doesnt orbit the Earth. It is not moving around the Earth.

I posted NASA's definition at least 5 times. Did you miss that?
Wow this is getting weirder and weirder.
