How do geosynchronized satellites work?

In: Satellite Television, Geology, Artificial Satellites [Edit categories]

Answer:

An awesome question. Satellites that are stationary, compared to our planet, are moving at at exactly the same speed as our planet's rotation. To do this, a satellite must be exactly a certain distance away from our planet so it "falls" at just the right speed as to never change it's apparent position. That distance is 35,786 kilometers (give or take a few meters).
