An orbital period for a geostationary satellite is equal to one sidereal day, which is the length of time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation of its axis. It takes the Earth around 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to complete one revolution. In other words, a geostationary satellite orbits the planet once in the same amount of time as it takes the planet to rotate once.
