Artificial satellite orbitals can be classified mainly in three categories based on their altitude
(a). Low earth orbit LEO ( 1000 KM Altitude)
(b). Medium earth orbit MEO (20,000 KM Altitude)
(c). Geostationary or Geosynchronous orbit GEO (36.000 KM Altitude)
Geostationary or Geosynchronous satellites revolve at the same time as that of earth, i.e the relative motion between Earth and the satellite is zero hence they are called geosynchronous or geostationary. This is why their orbit is also called the “Parking Orbit”.
The mass of the person will remain the same, it does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. The mass of a body will remain the same on earth and the moon.
However, the weight of the body will change due to the acceleration. Here, this is the case of free fall hence the weight will become zero. Moreover, the weight of the same body will be different on earth and the moon.
Where F is the gravitational force of attraction
M is the mass of a first body
M is the mass of a second body
is the distance between them i.e the distance of diagonals of a cube
