Sputnik I completed 1,440 orbits before falling back to earth.
it took 98 minutes, it stayed in space for 6 monthsIf this helps it orbited 1440 times in 3 months.
None. She died within hours of the launch from overheating.
The common translation is "traveling companion of the Earth". When the satellite "Sputnik" was first launched in space in October of 1957, the New York Times gave the name's literal meaning as, "something that is traveling with a traveler" with the explanation, "the traveler is the earth, traveling through space, and the companion 'traveling with' it is the satellite."

The USSR launched both of those missions, but they took place at different times. Sputnik-1 was launched in October, 1957.
Once, it is in a synchronous orbit with Earth
The earth will keep revolving around the sun until the sun dies out or earth is hit by a really big asteroid and knocks it out if its orbit.
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.

Earth takes 1 year for 1 orbit around the sun. So, in 100 years, Earth can orbit the sun 100 times.
it take the earth 360 days= 1 year
Most satellites in low Earth orbit rotate around the Earth approximately 15 times per day. This means they orbit the Earth about every 90 minutes.
