The Hubble is in a near-circular low-Earth orbit. It's approximately 559 km (347 mi) above the Earth's surface. If your car could drive straight up, it'd take about 6 or 7 hours to reach the Hubble. In comparison, the moon is between about 356500 km (221519 mi) and 406500 km (252847 mi) away.
The Sun; its diameter is 1392684 km while the HST has a diameter of 2.4 m only.
The recession velocity of a galaxy at a distance of 200 Mpc (mega-parsecs) would depend on Hubble's Law and the rate of expansion of the universe. For a rough estimate, assuming a Hubble constant of 70 km/s/Mpc, the recession velocity would be around 14,000 km/s.
The HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
The Hubble Space Telescope (technically it is not a 'spacecraft') orbits at 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth, at a speed of 7,500 m/s (17,000 mph).

The Hubble Space Telescope (or HST) is not in a geostationary orbit. The HST is located at an average altitude of 600 Km. Earths' geostationary orbit is at approximately 36 000 Km.
The Hubble space telescope is in near Earth orbit at a orbital height of 559 km (347 miles)
559 km (347 miles)
Answer About 347 miles Answer About 568 km

The Hubble's orbital altitude is about 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth's surface ... less than half of the distance from New York to Chicago.
The ISS orbits at 400 km above Earth; the HST at 569 km.
Hubble's equation states that the velocity at which various galaxies are receding from the Earth is proportional to their distance from us.The law is often expressed by the equation v = H0D, with H0 the constant of proportionality (the Hubble constant) between the distance D to a galaxy and its velocity v. The SI unit of H0 is s-1 but it is most frequently quoted in (km/s)/Mpc, thus giving the speed in km/s of a galaxy one Megaparsec away. The reciprocal of H0 is the Hubble time.
The Hubble space telescope orbits between 562 and 567 km above the Earth.
