  • GPS Satellite Orbits: How Many Times Per Week?
    A GPS satellite orbits the Earth approximately twice per day.

    Here's how to calculate that:

    * Orbital Period: GPS satellites have an orbital period of around 12 hours.

    * Days in a Week: There are 7 days in a week.

    * Orbits per Week: 2 orbits/day * 7 days/week = 14 orbits per week

    So, a GPS satellite orbits the Earth approximately 14 times in a week.
