Where have space shuttles been?
only to low Earth orbit.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
What are space shuttle used for?
To carry things to and from orbit around the Earth.
What layer of the atmosphere are space shuttles located?
The space shuttle program utilized low earth orbit, above the Earth's atmosphere.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
Do Space shuttles orbit in the thermosphere?
not regulary. they mostly orbit the mesosphere
Which atmospheric layer is where space shuttles orbit?
The atmosphere is divided in to five layers. These are Troposhere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere. The space shuttles orbit in thermosphere.The atmosphere is divided in to five layers. These are Troposhere, Stratospere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere. The space shuttles orbit in thermosphere.
How do shuttles land on other planets?
They don't. The shuttles were designed for Earth Orbit only.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
Thermosphere
Where did spaceship Columbia travel to?
Columbia was a Space Shuttle. Space Shuttles travel to an orbit around the Earth and return.

No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
Why don't satellite fall from the sky?
They are put into orbit by shuttles and stay in orbit around the earth, like the moon. Since they are no longer affected by Earth's gravitational field, they will not naturally fall down to Earth.

Does Mars Orbit Around the Earth?
No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.
