Sputnik I orbited Earth for about 3 months before decaying into Earth's atmosphere and burning up. Sputnik I burned up over 50 years ago.
Sputnik 1 was in orbit for about three months, from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.
No Sputniks are still in orbit. When they were, the period of an orbit was about 88 minutes.
it took 98 minutes, it stayed in space for 6 monthsIf this helps it orbited 1440 times in 3 months.
Sputnik 1 is long gone. It burnt up on re-entry a few months after launch.
No. Sputnik 1 burned up on 4 January 1958, as it fell from orbit upon reentering Earth's atmosphere
It was launched into an elliptical low earth orbit.

Sputnik 1, the first man made object to orbit the earth. And we've been polluting like crazy up there ever since.
First Soviet SatelliteIt was called the 'Sputnik' and was put into orbit on October 4th, 1957. The timing was 'tweaked' to mark the 40th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Sputnik with its puppy dog passenger( Laika ) was launched in October 1957, and remained in orbit until early 1958, when it reentered EarthÂ’s atmosphere and burned up Sputnik 1 was in orbit for 3 months, completing 1440 orbits. Sputnik 2, Laika's flight, was in orbit for 162 days. There were other missions, but these two, especially Sputnik 1, were the ones to capture the world's - especially the US'- attention.
Doesn't work like that, a satellite can't orbit one country. It can stay in geostationary orbit over some, but that's it. Sputnik 1 orbited the whole Earth.
Sputnik 1 traveled at a speed of 18000 mph, completing one orbit of the Earth every 96.2 minutes.
Sputnik 1 is long gone. It burnt up on re-entry a few months after launch.
No, Sputnik 1, the first spacecraft to orbit earth, was a roughly two foot diameter sphere/ball.
