I'm curious, at what appears to be GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) there is a ring of green "operational" satellites that align with the equator, then there is a "belt" of non-operational satellites that seem to have spread out from them.
1. Is this because the non-operational ones can no longer station keep and slowly spread out?
2. Why are they in a belt shape?
3. Why is the belt not centered on the green ring? They seem to be all "moving" in the same direction? (When I looked at it, their orbits tend to "dip" south while above the western hemisphere and north while above eastern hemisphere)
