Depending on where the station is in its elliptical orbit around earth, it is between 190 and 192 nautical miles from earth.
244 MILES
This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth.
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an average altitude of approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles). This distance can vary slightly due to the ISS constantly moving through space and being affected by gravitational forces. The ISS orbits Earth at a high speed, completing one orbit roughly every 90 minutes.
Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) is in outer space. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface.

The ISS orbits at an altitude of 400 km (250 miles) above Earth.
ISS is an internationally developed research facility, which is being assembled in low Earth orbit.

Earth's gravitational attraction keeps changing the direction of its movement continuously. This keeps orbits near Earth - such as the ISS - in an elliptical orbit.
Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.
Presently it is the ISS
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) is in outer space. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface.
The ISS is 380 kilometers or about 236 miles above the Earth.
No, the International Space Station orbits around the Earth, not the Moon. The Moon is located about 384,400 km away from Earth, while the ISS orbits Earth at an average altitude of 420 km.
Same as the distance between the Earth and Sun, that is 93 Million miles, give or take 278 km (173 mi) and 460 km (286 mi), the stationary orbit distance, and 12,756.32 km (7,926.41 mi), the diameter of the Earth.
