From launch to splashdown, Glenn was in flight for 4hours 55minutes 23seconds.
Good orbital position and velocity were confirmed 5 minutes after launch, and
retro-fire to take the capsule out of orbit was initiated 4hours 33minutes after
launch. Everything in between those events was time in orbit.
Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet astronaut, was the first person to orbit the Earth three times on April 12, 1961, aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
The first man to orbit the Earth three times was John Glenn. He accomplished this historic feat on February 20, 1962, during the Friendship 7 mission.
John Glenn on February 20, 1961. He went around the earth three times.
John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. The previous US flights had been sub-orbital. Yuri Gagarin of the USSR had earlier been the first human to orbit earth.
John Glenn.(We're almost certain that he was the first American to orbit the earth in anything,since we can't think of any other way to do it other than in a space vehicle.)

Yes. On February 20, 1962, NASA astronaut John Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission becoming the third American in space and the first American to orbit the Earth circling the earth three times.
Earth takes 1 year for 1 orbit around the sun. So, in 100 years, Earth can orbit the sun 100 times.
Earth orbited the sun about ...... times a year!
