A planet is said to have an inclined orbit around the Sun if it has an angle other than 0° to the ecliptic plane.
A geosynchronous orbit is an inclined orbit with an altitude of 37,000 km (23,000 mi) that completes one revolution every sidereal day tracing out a small figure-eight shape in the sky.
Due to their inherent instability, geostationary orbits will eventually become inclined if they are not corrected using thrusters.
At the end of the satellite's lifetime, when fuel approaches depletion, satellite operators may decide to omit these expensive manoeuvres to correct inclination and only control eccentricity.
This is a special type of orbit that precesses at the same rate that the sun moves along the ecliptic, causing the satellite to rise over a fixed location on the earth's surface at the same mean solar time every day.
