The Sputnik traveled at 18,000 miles per hour (29,000 kilometers), its orbit around the Earth each time took 92.6 minutes, and its actual orbit was 3 months.
No Sputniks are still in orbit. When they were, the period of an orbit was about 88 minutes.
Sputnik never went to Mars. Sputnik was a Russian satellite that stayed in a low earth orbit for 3 months then it burned up in reentry. It launched on October 4th, 1957.
3 months
Sputnik I orbited Earth for about 3 months before decaying into Earth's atmosphere and burning up. Sputnik I burned up over 50 years ago.
It was launched into an elliptical low earth orbit.

It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth. how long does it take for the earth to rotate around the sun? It takes exactly 365 and a quarter days for the earth to orbit around the sun once.
About an hour and a half.
The moon's orbit around the Earth lasts 27.32 days. That's around 4 weeks. Its orbit around the Earth is elliptic.
It takes one year for the earth to orbit around the sun
Sputnik with its puppy dog passenger( Laika ) was launched in October 1957, and remained in orbit until early 1958, when it reentered EarthÂ’s atmosphere and burned up Sputnik 1 was in orbit for 3 months, completing 1440 orbits. Sputnik 2, Laika's flight, was in orbit for 162 days. There were other missions, but these two, especially Sputnik 1, were the ones to capture the world's - especially the US'- attention.
