NASA astronaut John Glenn's February 20, 1962 flight lifted off at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The flight circled the earth three times. The flight lasted a total of 4 hours, 55 minutes before the Friendship 7 spacecraft splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean.

How much time for earth to orbit the sun?
It takes a year or the earth to orbit the sun.
What is a year on Jupiter?
Jupiter has an orbital period of 4,331.5 Earth days or about 11.86 years. Its orbit is much longer than Earth's, and it also moves more slowly in its orbit. Jupiter's orbit is roughly 11.86 Earth years long.
How much of its orbit does the moon complete in one earth day?
There are three different "Earth days". I will point you to a couple of links that have information about "Earth days", and lunar orbit information. Roughly, the Moon completes one orbit in 28 days, so it completes 1/28th of its orbit.
How much The earth takes to orbit the sun?
365 days (one year)
It takes 50 kg of fuel for a satellite to orbit the Earth one time How much fuel will be required for the satellite to orbit the Earth 100 times?
All you do is 50x100 which is 5,000So the answer is 5000kg of fuel
How many times did john glenn travel to oter space?
John Glenn was one of the astronauts trained on the Mercury program, and was the first American launched into earth orbit. Years later, as a US Senator from Ohio and more than 70 years old, Glenn was carried into orbit once more, as a passenger aboard a Space Shuttle mission. These were his two and only trips into earth orbit. It's probably a stretch to refer to these two orbital destinations as "outer" space. Sure, it's a pretty spectacular experience and achievement to be a weightless human satellite of the earth for a while. But the orbital distances on both occasions were not much more than required in order to avoid too much atmospheric drag, not much more than a couple of percent of the average distance of even the moon, and best referred to as "low earth orbit".
Why the difference gaps between different orbits go on increasing from lower to higher orbits?
It is completely dependent on what the project is supposed to accomplish. John Glenn, first American to orbit the earth, was in a very low orbit, because his orbit only had to be sustained for about 3 1/2 hours. The international space station is in a much higher orbit, because the orbit has to last a very long time. Any relatively "low" orbit will deteriorate, and the orbiting object will fall back to earth. Things like weather and surveillance satellites are in a higher orbit, which lasts longer (lengthens their useful life).

It takes a year or the earth to orbit the sun.
How much time does it take for Jupiter to orbit earth?
Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
How much time does it take earth to orbit in years?
it takes 1 year for the earth to orbit the sun
How much time does it take for Saturn to orbit the earth?
Saturn does NOT orbit the Earth ! It orbits the SUN every 29.5 years.
How much time does it take for Saturn to orbit earth?
Saturn does NOT orbit the Earth ! It orbits the SUN every 29.5 years.
How much does it take for the sun to orbit the earht?
What ever the spelling. The Sun does not orbit the Earth.
How much farther from the sun is the orbit of Neptune than the orbit of the Earth?
Neptune is about 30 times farther away from the sun than Earth is.
How much time does it take for the earth to orbit its axis?
365days
Which force is responsible for the orbit of the earth?
The Earth stays in its orbit under the force of gravity from the Sun, which is much more massive than all the planets.
How much farther from the sun is the orbit of Neptune than the orbit o Earth?
Neptune is about 30 times farther away from the sun than Earth is.
