Satellites orbit the Earth at various altitudes depending on their purpose. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites typically range from about 160 to 2,000 kilometers (100 to 1,200 miles) above the surface, while geostationary satellites are positioned at approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the equator. The specific altitude affects the satellite's speed, coverage area, and operational capabilities.

Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
What is the speed of a satellite that moves in an eliptical orbit around the earth?
If a satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, the Earth will be at one of the focii. The speed of the satellite will then constantly be changing. It will move the fastest when it is nearest to the Earth (perigee) and slowest when it is furthest away (apogee).
