Homework Statement
Where on Earth (what latitude/Longitude) can you not see a geostationary satellite, even if it's in the same hemisphere as you?
Homework Equations
The height of a geostationary satellite is 35,860,000 meters
The radius of Earth is 6,371,000 meters.
The Attempt at a Solution
So I guess you can't see the satellite from the poles... I'm not really sure why, but maybe it's because it's as far away as you can get from the satellite. This is the diagram but I'm not really sure if this is correct or how to get the latitude from it,
