Answer: velocities in the order of increasing is

Orbit of the Moon around Earth

Orbit of a geosynchronus satellite

An orbit around Earth near Earth's surface

An object just barely escaping Earth

Orbit of Earth around the Sun

Explanation:

velocity of an orbit around Earth near Earth's surface is 8 km/s

velocity of orbit of a geosynchronus satellite 3.07 km/s

The Moon orbits Earth at a speed of 1.02 km/s

Earth orbital speed around the sun is about 29.7 km/s

The escape velocity from Earth is about 11.186 km/s

from the above data we can write in increasing order of velocities as follows

Orbit of the Moon around Earth

Oribt of a geosynchronus satellite

An orbit around Earth near Earth's surface

An object just barely escaping Earth

Orbit of Earth around the Sun
