Explanation

Satellite internet connections are commonly and significantly affected by high latency due to the vast distance signals must travel to and from geostationary satellites in orbit, which is approximately 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) each way. This results in a substantial signal delay (round-trip time) that typically ranges from 500 to 600 milliseconds or more.
