What is another word for geosynchronous orbit?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˌiːə͡ʊsˈɪnkɹənəs ˈɔːbɪt] (IPA) 
Geosynchronous orbit refers to an orbit in which an object, usually a satellite, orbits the Earth at the same rate as the Earth rotates. This means that the object remains in the same position above the Earth's surface, making it ideal for communication and other applications. Some synonyms for geosynchronous orbit include Geostationary Orbit, synchronous orbit, and Clarke orbit, named after science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke. Additionally, it is important to distinguish geosynchronous orbit from a geostationary orbit. While all geostationary orbits are geosynchronous, not all geosynchronous orbits are geostationary, as the latter requires the object to be directly above the equator.
