It might be of interest to know that the rotational period of the Earth on its axis is not quite 24 hours. The sidereal day is 23h 56m 4.091s, or 23.9344696 hours.
Gravitation is a fundamental force of nature that describes the attraction between two objects with mass.
A satellite with the same w as Earth refers to a satellite that orbits the Earth at the same rate as the Earth's rotation. This means that the satellite remains in a fixed position relative to a specific point on Earth's surface.
Gravitation is the force that keeps satellites in orbit around the Earth. Satellites with the same w as Earth are able to maintain a stable orbit because they are constantly being pulled towards the Earth's center of mass by the force of gravity.
Satellites with the same w as Earth are commonly used for communication and navigation purposes. They can also be used for remote sensing, weather forecasting, and scientific research.
Yes, the w of a satellite can be changed by using thrusters to alter its speed and direction. This is often done to adjust the satellite's orbit or to maintain its position relative to a specific point on Earth's surface.
