IT IS FASTER THAN A BULLET. 🚀💨 The International Space Station orbits Earth at 17,500 mph (28,000 km/h). That is 5 miles **per second**. If you shot a bullet from a gun, the ISS would outrun it easily. In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the astronauts just traveled from New York to Philadelphia. They see 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every single day. Imagine living life at that speed. Would you get dizzy? 😵‍💫 #ISS #SpaceStation #SpeedOfLight #Orbit #NASA #Astronauts #Physics #Moon

Airplanes fly about 600 mph, but the International Space Station orbits Earth at 17,500 mph and looks like a very bright star moving across the sky. Did you know that you can track when the station will pass overhead? Find out when and where to look up: https://go.nasa.gov/33qrAy1 | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
