It can take 90 minutes, it can take 1,000 years. It depends.
The shuttle does it in 90 minutes, the moon does it in 30 days, some satellites may take thousands of years to revolve around the earth if they are far enough away.

Did you mean "does".
You didn't say for what to revolve around the earth.
It takes one day for the earth to revolve around its axis
It takes one year for the earth to revolve around the sun
It takes an infinite time for a geostationary satellite to revolve round the earth.
It takes 90 minutes for the shuttle to revolve around the earth.

It takes about an hour to orbit the Earth at 100 miles up, the bare minimum for an orbit without atmospheric drag. The farther out you go, the longer it takes. 90 minutes at 200 miles, 24 hours at 228,000 miles (geosynchronous orbit), and 30 days at 250,000 miles.

1&1/2 hours ... 90 minutes (if you are in the space shuttle in a typical orbit altitude)
