Aussprache: [ˌdʒiːoʊˈsɪŋkrənəs]

Wort

Kontext: „space technology“

(adjective) This describes a satellite that orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates. So, it stays over the same spot no matter what. It's like having a friend who always stands in the same place while you walk around.

Beispiel

Not all satellites are geosynchronous; some move around the Earth and don't stay in the same spot.
