Those figures are approximately correct but, fortunately for us, light doesn't go in circles. If it did, this would be a very dark universe.

A little over 7 times in 1 second.

Since light travels at 186,000 miles per second and the circumference of the earth is 24,900 miles, light can travel about seven and one-half times around the equator in one second.

just a little over 7 times/second, but light can not bend into a circular motion

7 times... and that's actually a factoid
earth circumference of ~26,000 miles
light speed is 187,000 miles/per/second
