Q1. The artificial satellite which is seen at a fixed position when viewed from the same location is called:
A Geostationary satellite Correct
B Non-polar satellite
C Polar satellite
D Remote sensing satellite
Explanation
A geostationary satellite appears fixed to an observer at the same place on Earth because it revolves in the equatorial plane with the same angular speed as Earth’s rotation. A polar satellite passes over or near the poles, so its apparent position keeps changing. A remote sensing satellite is classified by its use, not by appearing fixed in the sky. A non-polar satellite simply does not follow a polar orbit; that description alone does not make it stationary to an observer.
