How long does it take a space shuttle to orbit the Earth?

If it is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, the space shuttle takes approximately 90.35 minutes to make one orbit around the Earth. In a day, this space vehicle orbits the Earth about 15.9 times. However, the speed can vary depending on the spacecraft's altitude.

The space shuttle is in a low Earth orbit with an altitude that can vary between 190 and 330 miles. The Space Shuttle program began in 1981 and ended in 2011.

The International Space Station also makes one orbit around the Earth approximately every 92 minutes. It travels at a speed of around 17,150 miles per hour. The Space Station is also in a low Earth orbit, and it is used for scientific purposes.
