If the satellite is anywhere near Earth's surface, it will take about one and a half hours to orbit Earth once. As the orbit gets higher, it will take longer - both because it must travel a longer distance, and because it will be slower.
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
A satellite in a low Earth orbit can complete approximately 16 orbits around the Earth in a day. This is because the satellite's orbital period is typically around 90 minutes.
There are many satellites that orbit the earth in a day or less. All of them are man made. The only real satellite that orbits the earth is the moon. That takes 28 days to complete a single orbit.
Yes. The earth has many man-made satellites orbiting the earth, but there's also one natural satellite. This satellite is the moon, orbiting earth at about 2288 miles per hour (3683 kilometers per hour)
Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, completed 1,440 orbits around the Earth during its mission, which lasted from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.
There are many.

An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the moon. Many planets have moons that orbit them.
You can use Kepler's Third Law to calculate this.

Every satellite in the GPS constellation orbits the Earth constantly, with no time off. They're in so-called "medium-Earth orbits", with at altitude of 12,600 miles (20,200 km). The orbital period is one-half of a sidereal day, i.e., 11 hours and 58 minutes, so that the satellites pass over very nearly the same locations every day.
See what you orbit around the earth in different orbits around the time required to transfer different. Check the link.
A natural satellite that orbits a planet is a moon
A "geo-synchronous" orbit is one in which a satellite orbits in exactly 23 hours 56 minutes, the same rate at which the Earth spins. So while the satellite is moving and the Earth is moving, they are moving together at the same angular speed. This only works for equatorial orbits.
