Detailed Solution

The distance of a satellite from the surface of the Earth in geostationary orbit is 36000 km.
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite that revolves in the same direction as the Earth, at an altitude of approximately 36000 kilometres (22,300 miles) directly over the equator (west to east).
We need a continuous signal for a TV broadcasting satellite, and the satellite should be stationary with respect to the Earth. As a result, those are parked in geostationary orbit. Geostationary orbit is approximately 36000 kilometres above the equator.
