How far is International Space Station (ISS) from Earth

The image below is of "Blue Dragon" (It is called) in Portugal taken from the International Space Station (ISS). Remember that the ISS is 420 km away from the Earth. The ISS is moving at the speed of 7.88 km per second. That is, it moves 7.88 km from west to east in Earth's orbit in one second. As It moves in the orbit of the Earth; That means it does spin motion with the Earth. The most surprising thing is that the ISS is the size of a football field. Earlier it used to be small, but added modifications all the time made it so big!


The fastest jet X-10 has a speed of 7200 K / h. Which is five times faster than the speed of sound. That means this jet covers the distance five times faster than its sound. This speed is also much lower than the speed of ISS, but people sitting there do not feel this movement, because this is a constant motion. And anything that moves at constant speed, those who sit on it never feel its movement. That is why the earth moves because it is constant, And we cannot feel it.
