Answer:

Communication satellites are in geosynchronous orbit as, orbits are above the equator directly in the earth where the eccentricity is zero in the orbit and the objects which are geostationary are visible motionless in the sky of the earth. So, that is why, the orbit contain artificial satellite and the satellite distance are varying by the longitude.
