This question tests knowledge of different types of Earth orbits and their typical altitudes. The most well-defined are Geo Synchronous Orbit and Sun Synchronous Orbit. The distinction between "Polar Earth Orbit" and "Sun Synchronous Orbit" in terms of altitude ranges and the assignment of a high altitude to "Parking Orbit" are points of confusion.
Match list – I with list – II and choose the correct answer using the code given below – List – I (Orbit) (A) Polar Earth Orbit (B) Parking Orbit (C) Sun Synchronous Orbit (D) Geo Synchronous Orbit List – II (Distance above the Equator) (1) 700 – 800 km (2) 35,800 km (3) 500 – 2000 km (4) 35,785 km Code – (a) (A)-3, (B)-4, (C)-1, (D)-2 (b) (A)-2, (B)-3, (C)-4, (D)-1 (c) (A)-4, (B)-1, (C)-3, (D)-2 (d) (A)-3, (B)-4, (C)-2, (D)-1
