The satellites are pinpoint, while stars have created small trails due to the Earth's rotation. A geostationary orbit, geostationary Earth orbit or geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi) above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation.
Note that some of these satellites are separated from each other by as little as one tenth of a degree longitude. While that may seem like very little separation, and it is, at geosynchronous altitude (nearly 36,000 km), this corresponds to an inter-satellite spacing of approximately 73 km.
