You guys asked a lot of great questions about outer space. I did some research, and found web sites that will hopefully give you some answers.
Space has fascinated humans since the beginning of recorded history! The origins of astronomy (the scientific study of celestial objects) date back to ancient Mesopotamia (5000 to 5500 years ago!). Many of the questions that you have asked are still unanswered. If you are interested in Space, consider studying Physics in High School and College. Here are some of your questions, and some of the answers I have come up with.
How long does it take (the space shuttle) to orbit the earth?
