What is the eccentricity of a GEO? Correct Answer 0.0
A geostationary orbit (GEO) is an orbit over a planet in which a satellite has a fixed position over the planet. This makes the orbital shape of GEO exactly as the shape of the planet. Since, all planets are spherical in shape their cross-sections are circular. Hence, the GEO is a circular orbit with eccentricity of 0. It might be slightly elliptical but for the sake of simplicity it can be assumed to circular.
