That depends on the altitude. Low altitude satellites, about 140 miles up, take about 90 minutes to orbit. Communications satellites 23,000 miles up take 24 hours. The higher the orbit, the longer it takes.

How long does it take for a satellite to circle around the earth?

The time it takes for a satellite to complete one full orbit around the Earth, known as its orbital period, can vary depending on the altitude of the satellite. On average, a satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) typically takes about 90 minutes to complete one orbit, while a geostationary satellite orbits the Earth every 24 hours.

How long does it take earth satellite 42250km from earth take to orbit once?

this is if it is not a geostationary orbit, in which case it is always in the same place relative to earth. imagine a circle of radius 42250km+radius of earth(6,356km). it's perimeter is 2 x pi x 48606km = satellite's journey. then think of a really fast speed, which is the speed the satellite is moving at. divide the distance by speed and you have the time of one orbit However, by the height being 42250 , it makes me think the satellite is a geostationary satellite and so it would take 24 hours moving at approximately 12725 kmph does that answer your question?
