Sputnik I completed 1,440 orbits before falling back to earth.
Sputnik was a "family name" for a series of satellites, most of which burnt up in the atmosphere as their orbits decayed.
It completes 15.7 earth orbits per day.
John Glenn made only one space flight ,and it was of three orbits.
The orbit of Sputnik I (first artificial satellite) was highly elliptical, ranging from 223 to 939 kilometres (133 to 533 miles) above the Earth. It orbited for almost exactly 3 months, completing 1440 orbits before burning up on reentry on January 4, 1958.
Sputnik 1 made about 15 orbits per day

Anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. There are 2 types: artificial (the ones we make take the old Sputnik for example) and natural (the Moon)

No. All the sputniks were in fairly low-Earth orbits, and wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near the Moon.
