The correct answer is **True**.

Both geostationary and geosynchronous orbits are at the same distance from the Earth's center, which is approximately 42,164 kilometers (about 26,199 miles) from the Earth's center, or about 35,786 kilometers (about 22,236 miles) above the Earth's surface. The key difference is that a geostationary orbit remains fixed above a specific point on the equator, while a geosynchronous orbit has the same orbital period as the Earth's rotation but may not remain fixed over one spot on the Earth's surface.
