An earth satellite A is in a circular west-to-east equatorial orbit a distance 300 km above the surface of the earth as indicated. An observer B on the equator who sees the satellite directly overhead will see it directly overhead in the next orbit at position because of the rotation of the earth. The radial line to the satellite will have rotated through the angle 2π + θ and the observer will measure the apparent period
as a value slightly greater than the true period
