What must a spacecraft do to leave earth?
It must overcome Earth's gravity.
Why is launching spacecraft from the moon a desirable alternative to launching them from earth?
The Moon's gravity field is only 1/3 that of Earth's.
Why do people think launching spacecraft from the moon is a desirable alternative to launching them from earth?
Due to the lack of gravity, launching a spacecraft of any sort is a lot easier.
How the gravity affect your brain?
It holds to earth
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
How does gravity affect the launch and travel of a satellite?
It has to get up to 7km a second to get out of earth's orbit, then it orbits around earth.
What must a spacecraft do to leave earth?
It must overcome Earth's gravity.
What force pulls a spacecraft into Earth's atmosphere?
The force of Gravity.
What does a spacecraft need to overcome?
it needs to overcome the gravity of the earth lol
Is it true that Earth's gravitational pull on a spacecraft is greater as the spacecraft moves away from Earth?
False. The attractive force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance.
Why would it be easier to launch a spaceship from the moon if you wanted to get to Uranus?
In the narrow sense, it would be easier to launch a spaceship from the moon because the gravity is much lower. In practice, the moon has few resources so the spacecraft and fuel would have to come from the Earth in the first place.
Would Earth's gravity ever affect Pluto?
No, Earth's gravity would not affect Pluto. However, the suns gravity does.
How does a spacecraft launch from earth?
the fuel needed is huge but you need to take in the power and the amount of thrust
Is gravity used in space travel?
If you mean do any manned spacecraft use artificial gravity, the answer is, not so far. But, in the future, large spacecraft may create artificial gravity by rotating them. To conserve fuel, the gravity of the moon/planets is used to pull spacecraft toward them. And of course the gravity of earth is used to hold/pull on spacecraft so they orbit (circle) around it instead of flying off into space.
What is the action of the spacecraft leaving the earth called?
escape velocity if its leaving earths gravity
Does the space shuttle launch affect the earth rotation?
No it does not.
What does a moon landing probe do?
The lunar module lands on the moon and it helps as a launch pad for the spacecraft to return to earth.
