A geosynchronous orbit is an orbit in which the satellite remains over the same spot on the planet as the planet turns. This is accomplished by matching the velocity of the satellite to the velocity of the turning planet. The orbital radius of a geosynchronous satellite is 4.23×10^7 m (measured from the center of the earth). What is its period?
