Satellites in Low Earth Orbit are within 1000 miles of the surface, and routinely go around about 18 times every day.
Satellites in Mid Earth Orbit are up around 6000 to 20,000 miles, and orbit generally twice per day (some are more).
Satellites in geosynchronous orbit are placed there so they remain fixed over the Earth's surface, and go around exactly once per day.
