Satellites and kepler's laws: an argument for simplicity a geosynchronous earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. such orbits are useful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as earth's rotation). calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for the moon using the following data: distance from earth to moon 3.84x105 km, period of the moon 27.3 d. 123984 km submission not graded. use fewer significant figures.
