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.

Is it possible to see earth in its past using a telescope If we knew a defined 'spot' where the earth was a few millions of years ago could we locate and view it?
That would only be possible if we could travel faster than the speed of light...a lot faster...and then you would have to get farther out than light from earth has traveled in the last million years and then look toward earth..then, in theory, you could see the past.
Do snail or earthworms travel faster?
earthworms travel faster
How do you make your game that is loading on miniclip go faster?
get faster internet
Is it true or false that the faster your heartbeats the slower your pulse will be?
That is false. Your pulse is a measure of your heart rate. The faster your heart beats, the higher (faster) your pulse will be.
Does paint dry faster on wood or metal?
Most paint dries faster on wood.
What are some of the Hubble telescope discoveries?
The Hubble has discovered the fact that the universe is actually expanding faster than before, and this is caused by Dark Energy, another of the Hubble's discoveries
The Hubble Space Telescope is located in LEO. Does the telescope move faster or slower around the Earth compared with a geostationary weather satellite?
That is the exact questin i had!!
According to Hubble's law the farther away a galaxy is?
According to Hubble's Law, the farther away a galaxy is the, faster it is moving away
What happens to the speed of planets orbiting the sun as you get closer to the sun?
they get faster
What has the hubble telescope discoverd?
The Hubble telescope has expanded man's understanding of the universe in many ways. Here are a few: * helped astronomers determine the age of the universe much more accurately, * played a key role in discovering that a mysterious form of energy called dark energy is making the universe expand at a faster and faster rate, * detected the elements sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen in the atmosphere of a a large planet outside our solar system, * confirmed most galaxies have a black hole at their center, * proved that quasars, tremendous generators of light and other radiation which lie at the outer reaches of the universe, are located at the center of galaxies,
What is the general relationships between a galaxy's distance from earth and its speed?
were part of a galaxy?!! _____________________________ Yes, we are. It's part of the Earthling's Handbook; didn't you get a copy? The majority of other galaxies are moving away from us. (One notable exception is the Andromeda Galaxy; our Milky Way will probably collide with Andromeda in about 4 billion years or so.) Curiously, the farther away from us a galaxy is, the faster it seems to be receding! The relationship is called "Hubble's Law" for the man who figured it out, Edwin Hubble. (The Hubble Space Telescope is named in his honor.)
Why is Edwin hubble famous?
Edwin Hubble proved that there are other galaxies spread throughout the universe, and that these galaxies move away from each other as the universe expands. He further found that the galaxies in the outermost areas of the universe move faster that those nearer the middle, a feature in his Hubble's Law.
Edwin Hubble demonstrated that distant galaxies existed by measuring which type of stars?
what is the type of star used by the Hubble to measure the distance to other galaxies.
How did Hubble tell the universe was expandining?
By the redshift of the galaxies. In general, the farther away a galaxy is from us, the faster it moves away from us.
Which is faster geostational satelite or the international space station?
1st
How long will it take to get to the International Space Station?
It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.
Does the international space station travel faster than a bullet?
Yes. It goes a lot faster than a bullet.
