B180 km to 2000 km
CGreater than 35780 km
DBelow 100 km only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 180 km to 2000 km
1. The chapter classifies orbits by height above the earth's surface.
2. Low Earth Orbits lie between 180 km and 2000 km.
3. Medium Earth Orbits (rule out) span 2000 km to 35780 km.
4. High Earth Orbits are at or above 35780 km. So LEO is 180 km to 2000 km.
