Sun-synchronous Orbits

Sun-Synchronous Orbit is a type of near-polar Earth orbit in which a satellite passes over any given latitude at the same local solar time, maintaining a consistent orientation relative to the Sun due to a controlled precession of the orbital plane induced by Earth's oblateness.
