The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an astonishing speed of 28,000 km/h (17,500 mph), completing a full orbit in just 90 minutes! Meanwhile, Earth's surface rotates at a much slower pace—about 1,670 km/h (1,037 mph) at the equator. We created this animation to visually compare these two speeds, revealing just how fast the ISS moves relative to Earth's rotation. We also visualized the orbital path of the ISS, showing how it continuously circles Earth in a wave-like pattern due t
