Which orbit type has an altitude range of 2000 to 35785 km?

• A. Low Earth Orbit
• B. Medium Earth Orbit
• C. Geosynchronous Orbit
• D. Highly Elliptical Orbit

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how satellites are grouped by altitude. Low Earth Orbit ends roughly at 2,000 km above the planet, while Geosynchronous/Geostationary sits at about 35,786 km. Medium Earth Orbit spans roughly from 2,000 km up to about 35,786 km, which is the distance where many navigation and communications satellites operate. The given range of 2,000 to 35,785 km fits squarely within that band, making it the best descriptor. Highly Elliptical Orbits aren’t defined by a fixed altitude band—they’re elongated orbits with a wide range between perigee and apogee—so they don’t correspond to a single, fixed altitude interval like this.
