Who was the russiun astronaut who orbited the earth and in how many sec?
Yuri Gagarin was the first human being to orbit the earth. His flight took place in April, 1961. He made a single orbit, and landed 1hour 48minutes after the launch.
What was the shortest mission in space?

How fast can a satellite go in one complete orbit around the earth?
Sputnik orbited the earth about every 96 minutes. Yuri Gagarin managed the same. What is the speed relative to the earth? Earth's radius is about 4000 miles. If you do the math, you should get a velocity of about 18,000 miles per hour. Higher satellites orbit slower. A geosynchronous satellite (around 22,000 miles up) is stationary with respect to earth's surface. The moon, earth's natural satellite, orbits once every 27.3 days.
How many times did Yuri gagrin go in space?
Only once.
How many days does it take for the Earth to circle the Sun?
It took the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, 90 minutes to complete an orbit. That is 1/16th of a single day. The space shuttle and the ISS take the same amount of time to orbit the earth. It takes the moon around 27 days to complete an orbit of earth. So to answer your question, it varies and/or depends.
