The orbital period of the earth is 365.256366 days, or 1.0000175 years. About a year. That's how we define the year - it's the time it takes the earth to make one complete orbital trip around the sun. 365 and 1/4 days giving us our year. At the same time the earth spins on its axis which takes 24 hours giving us our days

What is the approximate compression of the earths orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
Why is a polar orbit useful for surveying purposes?
it carries the the satellite over the earths north and south poles
Why is Hubble space telescope orbiting earth faster than Space Station?
It doesn't orbit earth faster. The ISS is in a lower orbit with a period of 91 minutes compared to the Hubble's orbital period of 96-97 minutes. Orbital periods generally increase with orbit radius and speed in the orbit decreases with increasing orbit radius.
Low Earth orbit satellite period of revolution?
umm if my calculations are correct the period of a low earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 40000000000069 years. as extrapolated from Kepler's equation.
What contributes the lack of evidence of the period of heavy bombardment on earth?
Earths valcanoes
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
