about orbits

Hello everyone.
In my presentation I will talk about orbits
To begin with, I'll tell you the types of orbits. Then I will talk about some of the characteristics of
these orbits.
I’ll try to answer all of your questions after the presentation.
1. First of all, all orbits can be divided by inclination
There are three types of orbits
The first orbit is opposite the equator.
Satellites in this orbit have coverage only relative to the equator.
The next orbit is called polar
The satellites rotate in a vertical trajectory relative to the earth.
Since the earth rotates, the satellite covers all earth area.
The last inclined orbit allows to satellites corers latitudes in Northern and Southern
hemispheres.
2. Orbits also differ in shape.
orbit shapes are of two types: round and elliptical
An elliptical orbit has a close range, and a far range - apogee and perigee.
3. Orbit vary in height.
Low Earth orbit from hundreds of kilometers to two thousand kilometers altitude
Medium Earth Orbit from five thousand kilometers to ten thousand kilometers altitude
Geostationary orbit is at a distance of thirty-five thousand eight hundred kilometers from the
earth.
Orbital period of satellite equal to rotational period of Earth
Thank you for your attention
