Please I will try to explain my full understanding of GEO,ECCENTRICITY,INCLINATION,GEOSYNCHRONOUS and GEOSTATIONARY in my own words . please do correct me if i make any mistake
I am immagining the orbit position to be like the way beads are arranged in a circuler string.
The beads are the satellites and the string is the orbit
The string(orbit) is aperfect circle(zero eccentricity) and and lies directly over the equator(zero inclination) at an altitude of 35,786 km.The beads (satelites) and the earth move at the same speed( geosynchronous), therefore the satellite would appear motionless from the earth (Geostationary). The possition of the beads in the circumfrance of the circle repressent the orbit possition of the individual satellites
