You may be familiar with hibiscus, known as âsour teaâ in Iran, a delicious and refreshing summertime drink. Originally from Angola, hibiscus is now cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Sudan, Egypt, Thailand, Mexico, and China.
High Earth Orbit. When a satellite reaches exactly 42,164 kilometers from the center of the Earth (about 36,000 kilometers from Earthâs surface), it enters a sort of âsweet spotâ in which its orbit matches Earthâs rotation.his special, high Earth orbit is called geosynchronous. A satellite in a circular geosynchronous orbit directly over the equator (eccentricity and inclination at zero) will have a geostationary orbit that does not move at all relative to the ground.
This change will push the satellite into a lower orbit, which will increase its forward velocity. In addition to height, eccentricity and inclination also shape a satelliteâs orbit. Eccentricity refers to the shape of the orbit. A satellite with a low eccentricity orbit moves in a near circle around the Earth. satellite that orbits directly above the equator has zero inclination. If a satellite orbits from the north pole (geographic, not magnetic) to the south pole, its inclination is 90 degrees. Orbital inclination is the angle between the plane of an orbit and the equator.
