Short title	Comparison of several satellite navigation system orbits
Image title	Comparison of geostationary, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou (medium earth orbit satellites), International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope, Iridium Constellation and graveyard orbits with the Van Allen radiation belts and the nominal size of the earth, drawn by CMG Lee. Earth bitmap is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:North_pole_february_ice-pack_1978-2002.png by Geo Swan. The Moon's orbit is around 9 times larger (in radius and length) than geostationary orbit. The animation runs at 1 hour per second.
