what is the difference between c-band and ku-band

Corrected Answer –

About 8 GHz

C Band Frequencies are from 4 to 8 GHz
Ku Band Frequencies are from 12 to 18 GHz

Beyond that KU-band requires a much smaller antenna and is less susceptible to variations in weather and interference cause by the leaves of trees and other tresterial interferences.

Additionally because of the higher frequency of KU Band the data transfer rates are higher.

C Band at the lower frequency (under 10GHz) is less suspectable to “rain fade”.
