How fast the satellite revolves the earth
The satellites revolves the earth every 90 minutes average about 16 times a day
which are at an LEO (Low Earth Orbit) altitude of 400km from above sea level it is moving at a speed of 8 km/s to stay in orbit and against gravity .Gravity at this altitude is around 90% of Earth gravity
An object revolving the earth fall 5 meter in every 8km of rotation so for that satellites, ISS are maintained at 8km/s speed.
