Compare to the distance to the moon how far away is the space shuttle when in space from the earth?
The moon is at an estimated distance of 320 000 km from the Earth. The shuttle is on average 350 km form the surface of the earth... that means that the moon is about 915 times further away from the Earth then the space shuttle!
How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?

What makes things float in outer space?
actually the space shuttle, the astronauts, etc. are NOT weightless and experiencing zero gravity. They are slowly, the key word being slowly, falling back toward the Earth. The Earth has an enormous gravitational force. the shuttle doesn't fly near far enough away from the Earth to escape it.
From How far away can space shuttle launch been seen?
We just watched the space shuttle launch from Largo, Florida. It's 138 miles away and we saw it very well in early twilight.
How does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
The shuttle is always falling via gravity, it's just so far up that it never falls to earth,but goes around and around.

How far can a astronaut go into space in the space shuttle?
115 to 400 miles above the Earth.
What are the forces like when a space shuttle leaves the earth?
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV

How far is Earth to Venus in a space shuttle?
Distances don't depend on the specific nature of the phantasy in which you imagine traversing them, and no Space Shuttle was ever capable of traveling to Venus.

Did any space shuttle gone to Pluto?
No. Space shuttles do not have the capability to travel so far. They are designed for low earth orbit.
How far from earth does shuttle go?
The Space Shuttle's orbital altitude, ranges from 190 miles to 330 miles above sea level, depending on its mission.
How far away from earth is the International Space Station?
about 340km above the earth
What impact did the first space shuttle have on the world..... as in did it make society to day different?
The space shuttle helped us to be able to go into space and find out lots of info. we did not know. Before we had the space shuttle all we had were telescopes. Telescopes were good but all that they gave us were a picture and then we had to estimate how far away things in the universe were from other things were in the universe. Now that we have the space shuttle we are able to see things that we may not have seen with the telescope. We are also able to see how far away things are from other things
