When weather satellites orbit Earth at an altitude of 1400000 meters What is the altitude in kilometers?
1,400,000 meters is the same as 1400km
How long is earth's orbit in kilometers?
9000
Because the moon is gravitionally attracted to earth why doesnt it simply crash in earth?
The moon has enough speed to orbit the earth. Two forces, gravity and centrifugal force keeps the moon in orbit. The moon will not orbit the earth forever. Scientific Estimations estimate the moon slipping away from the earth at about a rate of 4 cm every year. No, not meters, not kilometers.
What orbit is still in the outermost part of earth's atmosphere?
A low Earth orbit is an orbit still in the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere. This kind of orbit occurs a few hundred kilometers into the atmosphere.
What does an orbiting shuttle that follows the curve of Earths surface as it moves at a constant speed have to be?
Mainly, it has to: (1) Move at a sufficiently high speed. Near the Earth's surface, that would be about 7.9 kilometers per second (7900 meters per second). You can multiply the meters per second by 3.6 if you prefer it in kilometers/hour. (2) Be sufficiently far from Earth, to avoid air resistance. A height somewhere between 100 and 200 kilometers is required, for a relatively stable orbit. Comment: I think "in a circular orbit" is what the question is looking for as the answer.
What planet has an orbit speed of 30 kilometers per second?
Earth
What planet has the orbit speed of about 30 kilometers per second?
earth
Is there a planet in the Earth orbit?
The eight planets, including Earth, have their own orbits.
What is the the orbit from the sun in kilometers for the earth?
The Earth takes one year to orbit the Sun at an average distance of 150 million kilometers (93 million miles). The distance 150 million kilometers is used as a measure called an Astronomical Unit or AU.
How does the earth orbit in exact distance around the sun?
It doesn't. The Earth's orbit is elliptical. The aphelion (where it is farthest from the sun) is around 152 million kilometers, the perihelion (closest to the sun) is ca. 147 million kilometers. What keeps it in that orbit is gravity and Newton's laws of motion.
How far is Hubble telescope from earth?

Earth and eight other major planets do this around the sun?
