How fast is the space shuttle traveling as it orbits the Earth?
Answer The speed in orbit is around 17500 miles an hour.
How much time does it take to fly to the space?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. Wow? The space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet and together with the Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
Explain why a space shuttle will stay in in orbit around the earth and will not fall to the earth?
The space shuttle is traveling at a speed such that its fall to earth matches the curvature of the earth. As a result, it is "falling" to the earth at the same rate that the earth's surface is rotating away, so it stays in orbit.
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
What part of the space shuttle circles earth?
The space shuttle orbiter orbits the earth. The solid rocket boosters are jettisoned within the earth's atmosphere, around two minutes after launch and the External Fuel Tank is jettisoned once in space.
How long does it take the shuttle to circle the earth?
90 minutes
How long will it take for a space shuttle to go from earth to space?
8 minutes.
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.
How long would it take a space shuttle to go from earth to mercury?
a very long time.average speed of the space shuttle orbiting the earth is around 17,000 miles per hour.the distance from earth to mercury is about 43,000,000 miles.so traveling at 17,000 mph it would take about 2,529 hours or about 105 days to get to mercury.I might be wrong.
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 many hours to space?
If you mean, how long time does it take to travel to space, the answer is about 9 minutes into orbit around the earth. This is what the space shuttles do when they are traveling to the International Space Station, ISS. After 9 minutes they are traveling at 28000 km/h, and every revolution around the globe takes around 1½ hour.
Space shuttle orbits earth 1 time in 90 minutes so how many times would the space shuttle orbit earth in 6 hours?
i had this question in 5th grade going to 6th in my summer homwork the answer is 15=================================Apparently, the author of the previous answer never saw his summer homework grade.(One time in 90 minutes) leads to (four times in 6 hours).
