Distance from dish to Sat

I was just thinking...

If a Dish were at the Equator like this one, and the Sat were directly overhead, what is the distance between the dish and the sat. In other words, what is the distance from the earth surface for a Geostationary SAT?

Secondly, How much closer is a Dish from the Sat at the equator than say, here in the US? Does that distance help signal quality?

Just a collection of random thoughts...lol
