A "frozen orbit" refers to a specific orbital configuration that allows a satellite to maintain a consistent pattern relative to the Earth’s surface over time. In this type of orbit, the satellite's ground track (the path it traces on the Earth's surface) repeats at regular intervals, usually on a daily basis. This means that after a certain number of days, the satellite will pass over the same point on Earth at the same local solar time.
