The speed of its apparent movement are determined by its orbit. The closer to Earth, the faster it appears to move.
Satellites in low earth orbit (such as the ISS) orbit around 150 miles up, and take about 90 minutes to complete one orbit. Since the world is about 25,000 miles around, that means that a LEO satellite is moving about 18,000 miles per hour.
Geosynchronous communications satellites are about 23,000 miles up and orbit once in 24 hours. Since the Earth itself turns in just 24 hours, a geosynchronous satellite appears to be stationary in the sky.
No, there is no space station in Canada. However, Canada has contributed to the International Space Station (ISS) by providing technology, equipment, and astronauts.
A spaceship typically moves faster than a space station. Spaceships are designed for interstellar travel and can reach high speeds to explore different regions of space, while space stations are usually in orbit around a celestial body and travel at a slower, consistent pace.
It takes about 6 hours for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to the International Space Station. Astronauts aboard the spacecraft typically launch from Earth and dock with the space station within this time frame.
On the International Space Station, you would experience microgravity, so your weight would be significantly less compared to Earth. Astronauts on the ISS feel weightless because they are falling towards Earth as fast as the station itself.

The space station is not too far out of the Earths atmosphere so they just send up a space shuttle!
I would think by getting pulled into gravitational forces and being swung right back out into space.

The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.

A space station is a large spacecraft designed to remain in space for long periods of time and serve as an orbiting habitat for astronauts. In contrast, the space shuttle was a reusable spacecraft that could launch from Earth, carry astronauts and cargo to space, and then return to Earth. The space shuttle was retired in 2011, while space stations like the International Space Station continue to be used for long-term missions.
The astronauts wear tethers whenever they exit the space station so that they remain attached to the station. Otherwise, without sufficient gravity to keep them close by, they could easily drift away into space.
The International Space Station (ISS) appears as a bright, fast-moving dot in the sky when viewed from Earth. It resembles a fast-moving airplane but does not have blinking lights. The ISS orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes, so it can often be seen during evening or early morning hours.
