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.

How do you escape from the earths movement round its axis?

Escaping Earth's rotation around its axis is not physically possible, as it's a fundamental aspect of our planet's motion. However, you can experience a temporary sensation of being free from this movement by traveling to space, where the effects of Earth's rotation are less pronounced. In microgravity environments, such as the International Space Station, astronauts experience a state that minimizes the effects of Earth's rotation. Ultimately, while you can't escape it, you can alter your perspective of it through space travel.


Is Mir a name for International Space Station?

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
