At an altitude of approx. 36 800 Km the orbital period of a satellite is 23 hours and 56 minutes. This means if the satellite is positioned above the equator, it will keep track exactly with the earth’s surface.
Umphakamo omalunga neekhilomitha ezi-36 800 ixesha lesethelayithi ziiyure ezi-23 nemizuzu e-56. Oku kuthetha ukuba ukuba isethelayithi ibekwe phezu kwe-ikhweyitha, iza kuwugcina ngqo umphezulu womhlaba.
