Yes
escape velocity if its leaving earths gravity
No. It cannot escape the Earths gravity.
The gravity of a black hole is stronger than Earth's gravity. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from them.
No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
Today's rockets use chemical fuel for this. That is, they burn something.
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
The sun gravity is stronger
The sun gravity is stronger
Escape velocity for the moon is a little over 5000 miles per hour. For the earth it is about 25,000 miles per hour. So the moon requires a fifth of the energy required to escape the earth.
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.
