does it take a year to reach the outer space? Reply. The American space shuttle (now retired) achieved this height of 100km at approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds into flight, then reached its initial orbit at an altitude between 300 and 500km generally at about 8 minutes 30 seconds into the flight. The Russian Soyuz rocket achieves similar times.
In addition to spinning on its axis, the Earth also revolves around the Sun. We are approximately 93 million miles (150 million km) from the Sun, and at that distance, it takes us one year (365 days) to go around once. The full path of the Earth's orbit is close to 600 million miles (970 million km). To go around this immense circle in one year takes a speed of 66,000 miles per hour (107,000 km/hr). At this speed, you could get from San Francisco to Washington DC in 3 minutes.
