You disagree with me agreeing with the numbers?
So according to you the numbers are wrong?
Waiting for your detailed debunk.

Yes because both geostationary satellites and elliptical satellites orbit the earth
No geostationary satellites dont move relative to Earth, so no, they dont orbit Earth. It seemed you finally had a moment of clarity, but nope. No no.
Oh and my dad is better than yours

Oh yeah? Well my dad is bigger than yours.
Hey can get in on the fun,
Yes, geostationary satellites do move around earth, so yes, they do orbit earth.
You are completely wrong.
No a geostationary satellite does not move around the Earth.
I stays above the same point on Earth.
It cant do that and move around the Earth at the same time.

You are completely wrong.
Geostationary satellites DO move around the Earth then?
I agree,
Are you suggesting the earth doesn't rotate/spin?
Are you suggesting the earth doesn't rotate/spin?
A child can understand this.
In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object,[1] such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.
If it moved around the Earth it wouldnt stay above the same spot now would it.
No why do you ask?

Your definition,
In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object,[1] such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.
Basically the same as NASA's. It was easier to link than just qoute it?
So does a geostationary satellites go around Earth? No? Then they dont orbit.
Thanks for your support.

Well, still no opposition. Thanks for the display.
Geostationary orbits debunked.
Then why do you keep making the same mistake.
Orbit
en.m.wikipedia.org...
In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object,[1] such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet. Normally, orbit refers to a regularly repeating trajectory, although it may also refer to a non-repeating trajectory. To a close approximation, planets and satellites follow elliptic orbits, with the central mass being orbited at a focal point of the ellipse,[2] as described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Can you now explain how a geostationary sat does it? Since it doesnt fall around the Earth, which would maintain its velocity?
You guys are hilarious. You keep posting the same dumb contradiction I debunked about 40 times now.
What is gravity?

Geostationary orbit
en.m.wikipedia.org...
A geostationary orbit, often referred to as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit[1] (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above Earth's equator and following the direction of Earth's rotation. An object in such an orbit appears motionless, at a fixed position in the sky, to ground observers. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often placed in geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas (located on Earth) that communicate with them do not have to rotate to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where the satellites are located. Using this characteristic, ocean-color monitoring satellites with visible and near-infrared light sensors (e.g. GOCI) can also be operated in geostationary orbit in order to monitor sensitive changes of ocean environments.
