The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an average speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour). This high velocity allows it to complete one full orbit approximately every 95 minutes. Hubble's orbital altitude is around 547 kilometers (about 340 miles) above the Earth's surface.
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an average speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (approximately 17,500 miles per hour). At this speed, it completes an orbit around the Earth roughly every 95 minutes. This high velocity allows Hubble to stay in low Earth orbit, where it can effectively observe celestial objects without atmospheric interference.
The Hubble Space Telescope has an orbital velocity of 7,500 m/s (meters a second) or nearly 17,000 mph.

As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.

The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Saturn does not orbit the Earth; it orbits the Sun. The Moon orbits the Earth.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, which translates to about 4.8 miles per second. This high velocity allows it to maintain a stable low Earth orbit, enabling it to capture clear images of astronomical objects without the interference of Earth's atmosphere.
Because the Space Shuttle will have to fly at a higher altitude and different inclination that if it was going to the ISS (International Space Station), it will take a little under 3 days to get there. The Hubble Telescope operates past the reach of the Earths Atmosphere, at an orbit of approximately 360 miles above the Earth. Although it could techincally reach it sooner, there is a slight chance that the Space Shuttle may encounter some space junk, especially after the recent collision of two satellites orbitting the planet.
Faster than you
About 30 km. per second.
17,500 mph
In its orbit around the Sun, the Earth moves at 30 km/second.
it depends how fast your going
