Satellite delay
Satellite delay is the noticeable latency which occurs due to the speed of light, when sending data to and from satellites, especially the much further out geosynchronous satellites. Bouncing a signal off one geosynchronous satellite takes about a quarter of a second, which is enough to be noticeable, but relaying data between 2 or 3 such satellites increases the delay further.[1]
