Best Answer

Do you mean the length of such an orbit ?

Well . . .

-- The radius of the Earth is about 3,960 miles.

-- 220 miles further out means that the radius of the orbit is 4,180 miles.

-- The circumference of a circle is (2 pi) x (the radius).

-- So the length of the orbit is (8,360 pi) = 26,264 miles. (rounded)

How high artificial satellites are?

That depends on the purpose of the satellite. Many are in "low Earth orbit", between 120 and 200 miles up. Communications satellites are generally in "geo-synchronous" orbits 23,000 miles high, and GPS satellites are in 12,000 mile orbits. And many altitudes in between.


How many miles for earth to orbit around the sun?

Earth's distance from the Sun is about 93 million miles; since the orbit is very nearly circular, you can use the formula for a circle (circumference = 2 x pi x radius).
