The Hubble is in low earth orbit at about 589 km. A link can be found below which an investigator can follow for more information.
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
The Hubble space telescope orbits between 562 and 567 km above the Earth.
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was built to observe objects in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. By being located above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can capture clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.
No, the Hubble Space Telescope does not have an atmosphere. It operates in the vacuum of space, approximately 547 kilometers (about 340 miles) above Earth, where there is no air or atmospheric effects. This allows it to capture clear images of astronomical objects without the distortion that Earth's atmosphere can cause.
The object that floats above Earth to take pictures of planets and stars is a space telescope. Examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits the Earth, and the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be positioned at a Lagrange point in space. These telescopes are designed to capture high-quality images and data from space.

Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) 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 HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
The Hubble space telescope orbits between 562 and 567 km above the Earth.

Hubble refers to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). It was launched on April 24 1990 from the space shuttle and has returned spectacular pictures to Earth of the solar system and beyond. See the Related Link below for more details. If you click on the 'Operations' tab when you are in the link, you can also see where Hubble is now, and when it will next pass over your location.
Hubble was launched on-board space shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 24 April 1990, and released from 600km above the earth.

Satellites and the Hubble Space Telescope are located in the thermosphere, which extends from about 85 kilometers (53 miles) to 600 kilometers (373 miles) above Earth's surface. This layer is characterized by a high concentration of ionized particles and increasing temperatures with altitude. The Hubble Space Telescope orbits at approximately 547 kilometers (about 340 miles) above Earth, well within the thermosphere.
The Hubble Space Telescope is gravitationally bound to the world but is nowhere in the world. It is orbiting the earth in a nearly circular path 240 miles above the surface, completing one revolution every 100 minutes or so. I don't know the inclination of its path to the equator.
