The International Space Station orbits in the same direction as the Earth's rotation, completing an orbit approximately every 90 minutes. This results in the ISS experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets each day as it travels around the Earth at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour.
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
MIR is Russian for "peace or world". It was a Russian space station that was the first inhabited space station in space. It was in operation from 1986 til 2001 when it's orbit was allowed to degenerate and burnt up in the Earths atmosphere. It should not be confused with the International Space Station or ISS which is a separate space station. See related links for more information
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
Coriolis effect

rotation
24 hours rotation
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
That's "rotation".
because of the earths rotation
coriolis effect
no they are not
the earths rotation around the sun is 365 days . hope this helps (:
yes
None (that we know of).
Essentially nothing.
