NOTE:- Round Island boas, (also called Mauritius snakes and splitjaw snakes) are no longer regarded as Boas (Boidae family) and are now in the Bolyeriidae family. There were 2 species, one if which is believed to be extinct.
This is where the Shuttle and ISS conduct their operations. One complete orbit in LEO takes about 90 minutes. Satellites that seem to be attached to some location on Earth are in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO). These satellites orbit about 23,000 miles above the equator and complete one revolution around the Earth precisely every 24 hours. Satellites headed for GEO first go to an elliptical orbit with an apogee about 23,000 miles.
Best Answer: The time a satellite takes to orbit the Earth depends on how high it is above the Earth's surface-the higher the orbit, the longer it takes to circle the Earth. Most satellites in what is called Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are at a height of roughly 250 miles and take a little over 90 minutes for each orbit.
