What else can I help you with?
Where does an object orbit something?
In space
Does the earth gravity affect the astronaut in space?
If he is aboard something that's in Earth-orbit, like the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle, then Earth's gravity is what's keeping him in orbit.
Are astronauts weightless in orbit?
As there is no gravity in space, everything will float........... Because They're in free fall ........
Why does space stations have no moons?
Space stations are too small and do not have gravitational pull to draw in something that large to orbit it.
What will happen if an apple is released from an orbiting spaceship?
An orbiting vehicle has sufficient speed to remain in orbit. If an apple is put outside the vehicle, it will continue in orbit with that vehicle. It will just float there. The apple and everything in the space vehicle will be moving at the same speed, and, because the vehicle is in orbit, everything will have sufficient speed to remain in orbit.
Why did the sputnik carry weapons into space?
As far as we know, it didn't. But if you can launch something harmless into orbit, you can also launch something dangerous into orbit, which was a big part of the fear caused by the Sputnik launch.
How the sun earth and moon move around in space?
Everything is held together by the Suns gravity , so it stays in orbit.
Why don't satellites orbit in circles?
It's difficult to get satellites into exactly circular orbits; if there is any irregularity, then the orbit is an ellipse, not circular. In nature, everything in space travels in an elliptical path.
How do Space Aids in space Exploration?
a rocket powers the space station into orbit
Does everything float in space?
No, not everything floats in space. Objects with mass are still affected by gravitational forces, so they can be in motion or orbit around celestial bodies. In the absence of gravity, objects or particles with mass still have inertia and will continue to move unless acted upon by another force.
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
What year did the British have rocket ships?
The British have a space program, but to my knowledge they have never launched their own rockets into space. If they want something in orbit, the US or France can do it for them.
