Comparison of geostationary Earth orbit with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Compass (medium Earth orbit) satellite navigation system orbits with the International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope and Iridium constellation orbits, and the nominal size of the Earth.[a] The Moon's orbit is around 9 times larger (in radius and length) than geostationary orbit.[b]
The three most important Earth Orbits and the inner and outer Van Allen radiation belt
Various Earth orbits to scale:
  •   the innermost, the red dotted line represents the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS);
  •   cyan represents low Earth orbit,
  •   yellow represents medium Earth orbit,
  •   The green dashed line represents the orbit of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and
  •   the outermost, the black dashed line represents geostationary orbit.

This is a list of types of gravitational orbit classified by various characteristics.
