Correct option is D
The correct height of a geostationary orbit is 35,786 km above Earth's surface.
This orbit allows a satellite to stay fixed relative to a specific point on Earth's surface, making it ideal for communication and weather satellites.
- A geostationary orbit is a special type of orbit where a satellite orbits Earth at a specific altitude and speed such that it remains above the same point on Earth's surface. This is ideal for certain types of satellites, like communication satellites, as it ensures they always provide coverage to the same geographic area.
So the answer is:(D) 35,786 km
