The distance of a geostationary satellites from the centre of earth  (Radius R=6400km) is nearest to

Answer»

We know that distance of geostationary satellite from the surface of earth is 36000 km. 

The radius of earth is 6400km. 

Therefore, distance of geostationary satellite from the centre of earth = 36000+6400=42400km

Therefore, 6400xD = 42400

or, D = 42400/6400 = 6.6R

or, D = 7R
