If it moved around the Earth it wouldnt stay above the same spot now would it.
If the earth rotates then it would wouldn't it?
So again
are you suggesting the earth doesn't rotate?
No why do you ask?
NO reason, just asking
Does the earth rotate about an axis every 24 hours?
If the earth rotates then it would wouldn't it?
Therefor contradicting their own logic
The individual has stated the earth rotates. There for contradicting their own logic
Does a geostationary satellite have a curved trajectory?

What are you talking about? When did I deny rotation? Now you are just delusional.

Do they have a curved trajectory around Earth cause that is what all of you have been claiming the whole time.
Fps fellars, how hard is it to grasp basic physics.
No it wouldnt. In order to stay above the same point on Earth it has to move through space and keep up with the surface. According to you people this equates to moving around the Earth. In order to move around Earth it would have to go faster or slower than that and it would not be geostationary.

But geostationary satellites dont have a curved trajectory around the Earth.
Your moving the goal post.

It does have curved trajectory to stay above the same spot.
