A satellite orbiting above the equator at that distance keeps its position above the same spot on the ground; hence this is known as the synchronous orbit, from the Greek syn--same, chronos--time.
Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) is a particular kind of polar orbit, see picture below. Satellites in SSO, travelling over the polar regions, are “synchronous” with the Sun. This means they are synchronised to always be in the same ‘fixed’ position relative to the Sun.
A Sun-synchronous orbit is useful for imaging, reconnaissance, and weather satellites, because every time that the satellite is overhead, the surface illumination angle on the planet underneath it is nearly the same.
This synchronisation between the satellite’s orbital plane and the Sun’s position ensures that the satellite passes over a specific location on Earth at the same local solar time during each orbit. To achieve a sun-synchronous orbit, the satellite’s orbital inclination and altitude are carefully selected.
Polar and Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO) – image from ESA. Since satellites typically collect reflected light from the earth surface, that originate from the sun, it is important that the conditions are similar during each orbit – we are looking for changes and comparing data from different orbits.
An orbit will be Sun-synchronous when the precession rate ρ = d Ω d t equals the mean motion of the Earth about the Sun nE, which is 360° per sidereal year (1.990 968 71 × 10−7 rad /s), so we must set nE = Δ ΩE TE = ρ = Δ Ω T , where TE is the earth orbital period while T is the period of the spacecraft around the earth.

I. What is a Sun-Synchronous Orbit? A Sun-Synchronous Orbit is a type of polar orbit used by satellites and spacecraft that allows them to pass over any given point on Earth at the same local solar time. This means that the satellite will always see the same portion of the Earth illuminated by the sun, regardless of the time of day ...

Sun-synchronous repeat ground tracks and other useful orbits
Traditional Earth observation missions have utilized Sun-synchronous orbits with repeat ground tracks due to advantages in visible and infrared wavelengths. However, diversification of observation wavelengths and miniaturization of satellites, are enabling new kinds of satellite missions that provide big data from swarms and constellations.

The most common type of a Sun-synchronous orbit is a ground-repeating one. In this case, we have a Sun-synchronous orbit, as mentioned before, whose ground track repeats after a finite number of (solar) days. The ground-repeating condition happens if the satellite performs a rational number of orbits per solar day: [R_d = I + frac{N}{D},]
