during the course of 6 years, it circled the earth 37000 times for a total of 1280,000,000 kilometers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it takes about 90 minutes to maker one complete revolution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1280,000,000 / 37000 = 34594.59459 kilometers per each revolutuion about the earth.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if that takes 90 minutes, then it takes 1.5 hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "rate * time = distance.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "time = 1.5 hours
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 34594.59459 kilometers.
\n" ); document.write( "rate = distance / time = 34594.59459 kilometers / 1.5 hours = 23063.06306 kilometers per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
