Interesting fact: The International Space Station orbits Earth at about 28,000 kilometers per hour, allowing it to circle the planet roughly every 90 minutes.
The answer: The International Space Station weighs approximately 420,000 kilograms (about 925,000 pounds).
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft orbiting Earth, serving as a home and research lab for astronauts. Its mass includes multiple modules, solar panels, and equipment. Despite its weight, the ISS experiences microgravity, so it effectively floats in orbit. The station's weight on Earth is significant, comparable to about 320 cars, but in orbit, it remains in continuous free fall around the planet.
