Tangential velocities at altitude
| Orbit | Center-to-center distance |
Altitude above the Earth's surface |
Speed | Orbital period | Specific orbital energy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Earth's own rotation at surface (for comparison— not an orbit) | 6,378 km | 0 km | 465.1 m/s (1,674 km/h or 1,040 mph) | 23 h 56 min 4.09 sec | −62.6 MJ/kg |
| Orbiting at Earth's surface (equator) theoretical | 6,378 km | 0 km | 7.9 km/s (28,440 km/h or 17,672 mph) | 1 h 24 min 18 sec | −31.2 MJ/kg |
| Low Earth orbit | 6,600–8,400 km | 200–2,000 km |
|
1 h 29 min – 2 h 8 min | −29.8 MJ/kg |
| Molniya orbit | 6,900–46,300 km | 500–39,900 km | 1.5–10.0 km/s (5,400–36,000 km/h or 3,335–22,370 mph) respectively | 11 h 58 min | −4.7 MJ/kg |
| Geostationary | 42,000 km | 35,786 km | 3.1 km/s (11,600 km/h or 6,935 mph) | 23 h 56 min 4.09 sec | −4.6 MJ/kg |
| Orbit of the Moon | 363,000–406,000 km | 357,000–399,000 km | 0.97–1.08 km/s (3,492–3,888 km/h or 2,170–2,416 mph) respectively | 27.27 days | −0.5 MJ/kg |
