Is Polar Orbit a type of Geosynchronous orbit?

In: Science, Stars [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite stays approximately stationary with respect to a point on the earth's surface. This is not possible in any orbits which are not in the equatorial plane of the earth. For example, in polar orbits the satellites will move around the earth from above the north pole to above the south pole and then back to above the north pole. Clearly, this isn't stationary relative to the earth's surface.
