That would totally depend on your mass.

Explain why a space shuttle will stay in in orbit around the earth and will not fall to the earth?
The space shuttle is traveling at a speed such that its fall to earth matches the curvature of the earth. As a result, it is "falling" to the earth at the same rate that the earth's surface is rotating away, so it stays in orbit.
How far is the orbit for earth?
I assume you're asking how far Earth is from the Sun? It's about 150,000,000km or 93,000,000 miles.
How far is Hubble telescope from earth?
Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) above Earth

How far ISS from earth?
Depending on where the station is in its elliptical orbit around earth, it is between 190 and 192 nautical miles from earth.
Do satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward earth?
Satellites orbit the earth for a few years then fall to earth however they are directed to fall to the sea
Why does a satellite in orbit around the earth not fall into the earth?
Anything in "orbit" is falling into the object that its orbiting ... and constantly missing. Because by the time the (orbiting) object has fallen far enough to hit ... the object it is orbiting has moved far enough so that they miss each other.
What has to happen to cause an object in orbit to fall toward earth?
a object is a thing earth can fall by leaning over.
Time it takes to orbit the earth?
It depends on how close you are in your orbit. The international space station is about as close as you can get in free fall orbit, orbiting once every hour and a half or so. As you go further out the time taken increases. The moon is quite far out, orbiting earth once a month.
Why would Earth's orbit fall towards earth?
It wouldn't because that's impossible

Why do artificial satellites not fall?
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
What force allows asteroids to fall from orbit and hit Earth's surface?
The asteroids that strike earth's surface do not fall from orbit. Asteroids have fairly small masses, so their orbits are easily altered by interactions with other objects. Sometimes the orbit of an asteroid is changed such that its orbit intersects Earth's orbit. If the timing works out so that the asteroid reaches the point of interestion at the same time as Earth does, then a collision will result.

Past Earth's orbit
