2020年3月30日 · Satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO) fly above Earth’s equator, moving from west to east, exactly matching Earth’s rotation: taking 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds to complete one full orbit, i.e. the duration of a sidereal day. This makes GEO satellites appear ‘stationary’ over one fixed spot.
