The effects of Earth's mass will extend, most likely, to the extremes of the Universe. Detecting that mass much further out than the orbit of Saturn will either require very extensive instrumentation, a greate deal of time, or both.

Is it correct to say that satellites fall back to earth falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity explain?

That is not English; that is not physics. Generally speaking, the speed of the satellite and gravity cancel each other. As the satellite slows (friction), gravity wins.


At what point is a spaceship beyond pull of earths gravity?

Earth's gravity gets weaker and weaker at greater distances, but it never disappears completely. To be more precise, there is an inverse-square law: For example, if you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force will be 100 times less.Earth's gravity gets weaker and weaker at greater distances, but it never disappears completely.

Who invented the spaceship and where was it invented?

I think that a 'Spaceship' needs to be defined before anyone answers your question. A Spaceship is a fanciful science fiction object . A Spaceship is not another name for a Satellite or Space Station. Spaceships are the things of novelists whom write make believe stories about people traveling off into outer space beyond the earth's atmosphere. Because there never was and have not yet been any spaceships available for people to travel into outer space, then they are certainly not an invention. They are simply a fictional idea.


When was the first spaceship launched?

The first spaceship was launched on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union sent Sputnik 1 into space. This event marked the beginning of the space age and opened the door to human exploration beyond Earth.


How do spaceship engines work?

This is a very general question.There are a wide variety of spaceship engines which utilise a wide range of differing mechanisms in which to propel a spacecraft.In general spaceships engines 'work' by using Newtons Third Law which states:For every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action.This means that if a spaceship engine produces an exhaust that leaves the spaceship, then the spaceship's engine and hence the spaceship will be pushed in the opposite direction.The American Space Shuttle's main engines and its RCS (reaction control system) operate in this manner.There are some variation in spaceship engine designs, for example Project Orion was a nuclear engine design which would fire nuclear bombs out of the rear of the spaceship (0.15 KT bombs for the 4000 ton spaceship design).Whilst the firing of the nuclear bomb out of the back of the spaceship would provide a tiny bit of thrust, the majority of this engines thrust was provided when the bomb exploded 200 feet from the spaceship.The blast wave from the explosion would hit the rear of the spaceship on a specially designed 'pusher plate' and the force of the plasma wave hitting this pusher plate moved the spaceship forward.Project Orion never proceeded beyond a few small chemical explosive based prototypes due to concerns over the use of nuclear weapons inside the Earths atmosphere but I have included as an example of how varied some spaceship engines can be.

Why does gravity not occur beyond the point of the earths atmosphere?

Gravity occurs everywhere, its just in space it seems like there's no gravity because its very slight gravitational pull from the sun. And the reason you can float away forever is because there is extremely little friction because there's almost no gases


What is a example of using the word gravity in a sentence?

The gravity of the situation was beyond my understanding. We're held to the earth by gravity.

Do the space shuttle have enough fuel to fly to Pluto?

Theoretically yes - although it won't have enough to return. Once out of the gravitational pull of the Earths gravity and a couple of gravitational assists from other planets, a shuttle could make it to Pluto and beyond.
