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.


How many times can a satellite go around the Earth in a day?

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.

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.

Which satellite orbit the earth in a day?

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.


Is there a satellite around earth and what is it called?

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)

How many hours does each satellite orbit the earth in the global positioning system?

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.

What is the satellite that always stays over one spot on Earth?

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.
