Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Geostationary Satellite?”  Here is the correct answer. A Geostationary Satellite is a satellite that rotates at the same rate as the earth, remaining over the same spot above the equator. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. The first person to post the correct answer as a comment on this page will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.
