dear ramendra , geo stationary satellite rotate about earth center with same angular speed as

of earth rotating about ts own axis...

relative angular speed of satellite wrt earth = 0

distance from center of earth is approx 36000km

time taken by it is equal to time taken by earth to rotate about its own axis

that means time perion of geostationary satellite is 24hrs ...
