Best Answer

The moon orbits the earth every 27.3 days. There are 24 hours per day, and 3600 seconds per hour. The product of all these numbers is 2 million, 359 thousand seconds.

How many day hours and minutes did it take for John Glenn to orbit the earth?

John Glenn's Mercury mission lasted for 4 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds. In this time, he was able to orbit the Earth three times.Glenn also was able to orbit the Earth on board the space shuttle Discovery three decades later, adding 8 days, 21 hours, 44 minutes, 56 seconds to his time in space. This trip, each orbit took 96 minutes.

Why does the space shuttle turn a few seconds after take off?

There are a number of reasons why the shuttle rolled to a "heads down" position with the crew cockpit facing down. This is the position the orbiter is in while in orbit. Many of the antennae the orbiter uses to communicate with the ground are located on the top of the orbiter. This "heads down" position maximizing performance of these communications. This also allows the the shuttle to reach the orbit required for its low earth orbit missions. After clearing the launch tower, the shuttle stack performs a roll and pitch set its orbital inclination to achieve low orbit. T We think of the shuttle launching upwards to reach orbit but acceleration is much more horizontal than vertical. This is required to reach the over 17,000 mph required to achieve low earth orbit.
