Find the radius of the orbit of a synchronous satellite that circles the Earth. (A synchronous satellite goes around the Earth once every $24 \mathrm{~h}$, so that its position appears stationary with respect to a ground station.) The simplest way to find the answer and give your results is by expressing all distances in terms of the Earth's radius $R_{e}$

A satellite orbiting the earth is directly over u point on the equator at 12: 00 midnight every two days. It is not over that point at any time in between. What is the radius of the satellite's orbit?
