There may be times when the sun is eclipsed by the earth, but this will be infrequent.

This will happen once per day lol. For a geostationary orbit anyway, as the orbital period is 24 hours.

The point, as you mentioned before, is that the nighttime/eclipse part of this period will be very short and the day very long. Our night lasts hours, a geostationary satellite’s night is minutes (maybe a little over 1 hour for the longest ones).

This website calculates eclipse periods for satellites: satellite-calculations.com/…/satellite_eclipse.ht… Apparently it’s a seasonal thing, like 3 months you get daily eclipses, 3 months you get no eclipse, then another 3 months on and another 3 off. The 3 months with eclipses are the around the equinoxes, so Feb-Apr and Aug-Oct.
