खालीलपैकी काय जिओस्टेशनरी ऑर्बिट (GEO) चे अचूकपणे वर्णन करते ? / Which of the following describes the Geostationary Orbit (GEO) correctly ?
1)समुद्रसपाटीपासूनची उंची 20,000 कि.मी. व एक कक्षा परिभ्रमणास 12 तास लागतात. / Altitude of 20,000 km above the sea level and the orbital period is 12 hours.
2)समुद्रसपाटीपासूनची उंची 36,000 कि.मी. व एक कक्षा परिभ्रमणास 24 तास लागतात. / Altitude of 36,000 km above the sea level and the orbital period is 24 hours.✓ Correct
3)समुद्रसपाटीपासूनची उंची 400 कि.मी. व एक कक्षा परिभ्रमणास 90 मिनिटे लागतात. / Altitude of 400 km above the sea level and the orbital period is 90 minutes.
4)यापैकी कुठलेही नाही / None of the above
A Geostationary Orbit (GEO) is located at an altitude of approximately 36,000 km above the Earth's equator, and its orbital period matches the Earth's rotational period of 24 hours.
