How fast does a rocket need to be travelling to leave earth's orbit?

I always thought it was called escape velocity , as in the speed needed to escape the effect of gravity

Player #749483, learn to think in both, please. They're both still relevant. Why limit yourself?

Player #16247681, true, and the escape velocity decreases as distance from Earth increases. Therefore, the velocity to leave orbit is significantly less than the answer given. Fix this question, or throw it out.

Player #16247681, Great explaination this is why although the answers may seem easy and trivial reading the questions carefully is where the fun is to get it right. This is a “ fun “game not a test to achieve a diploma. ! ! !

I worked in the space industry for 36 years and Escape Velocity is an industry standard term

The question wasn't to enter orbit, but to leave the orbit! The answer seems a little confusing!
