The time period of communication satellites is:
Correct answer: D. 24 hours
- A. 1 hour
- B. 2 hour
- C. 12 hours
- D. 24 hours
Explanation
24 hours: This option is correct. Geostationary communication satellites orbit the Earth at a height of about 35,786 kilometers, taking 24 hours to complete one orbit. This allows them to remain fixed in the sky relative to an observer on Earth, providing continuous communication coverage.
