106,000 miles
Depending on your definition, the descent to earth from space would be about 60 miles long if you were to consider "space" to start at 60 miles above sea-level.
it will take 1 hour for you to drive up to space
this question does not make sense. the earth is in space.......
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach space after launch. The space shuttle accelerates to a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.
The space shuttle orbits the earth at 18700 miles per hour at a height of 350 miles above the Earth.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers).
First, the Moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth. Second, the Shuttle couldn't go there on a bet. If you are talking about an average speed of 12,000 miles an hour, then obviously the answer is 20 hours to go 240,000.
The International Space Station orbits the Earth at an average altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers).
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit and then rendezvous with the International Space Station, which orbits approximately 250 miles above Earth.
The distance from Earth's surface to space is about 62 miles (100 kilometers), known as the Kármán line, which is considered the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space.
In space..
The space shuttle travels in the Earth's orbit, typically at an altitude of around 250 miles above the Earth's surface. It orbits the Earth at a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, allowing it to counteract the pull of gravity and remain in orbit.
