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.
They can orbit at any altitude we want them at, from LEO (Low Earth Orbit) of around 200 miles, to geosynchronous orbit, some 23,000 miles above the surface of the earth. For that matter, the Moon is also a satellite, and it orbits a couple hundred thousand miles up, if memory serves.suspendor Â· 9 years ago. Thumbs up.he Space Shuttle, the ISS, and any satellite you can see with the naked eye are about 250-300 miles above Earth's surface. Some satellites are in geosynchronous orbits (they take 24 hours to orbit, so they stay above the same position on Earth all the time), those are 20,000 miles above the surface.
