Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?
No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.
How many kilometers above the earth is the thermosphere?
it is about 500-650 kilometers above earth's surface.
Can the pendulum clock be used to measure time in a spaceship orbiting around the earth?
No, there is no gravity gradient. Though it could be if it was somehow mounted in a centrifuge.
Which atmosphere is located between 17 kilometers and 35 kilometers above Earth'?
The Stratosphere is at 17km to 35km above Earth
Where is Hubble Telescope located?
The Hubble Telescope is a space telescope which is approximately 559 kilometers away from the surface of the earth in a "low earth orbit" which indicates that it is orbiting under 200 kilometers.

Would a person orbiting earth in a spaceship feel lighter?
Yes. In fact they would feel weightless.
What is the speed of the spaceship?
It varies greatly. It will depend on how far away it is from the object it's orbiting. If it is in a circular orbit around the Earth, its speed can be calculated by the formula: speed = Squareroot(398600/(6371+altitude)) This will give you an answer in kilometers per second.

Which measurement best represents the distance of the orbiting space shuttle from Earth?
300 Kilometers
How fast can the earth travel around the sun?
The Earth is orbiting the sun at an average speed of 30 kilometers per second.

Is there a satellite around earth and what is it called?
Yes. The earth has many man-made satellites orbiting the earth, but there's also one natural satellite. This satellite is the moon, orbiting earth at about 2288 miles per hour (3683 kilometers per hour)
Which type of satellites circle the Earth and provide global information from 540 miles above the Earth?
Polar Orbiting.
Is spaceship Earth related to the shape of earth?
The name "Spaceship earth" came about because the earth moves through space and it is holding people just like a spaceship.
