Do satellities orbit Earth in the exosphere?
No. If they did, air resistance would quickly slow them down and they would fall out of orbit. In order to be in a stable orbit, the satellites must be out of the atmosphere completely.
Is the space station moving or stationary?
Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.
What is path satellite takes around earth?
Satellites typically orbit Earth in elliptical or circular paths. The specific path depends on the satellite's purpose and altitude. Low Earth orbit satellites circle the Earth more quickly, while geostationary satellites orbit at the same rate as the Earth's rotation, appearing to stay stationary in the sky.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
Is the moon in the low earth orbit?
Low earth orbit is generally defined as orbiting the Earth at between 200 and 2,000 kilometers (124 to 1240 miles) above the Earth's surface.Below 200km, the gravity of the Earth causes the orbit of any object to decay quite quickly. Above 2,000km is the Van Allen radiation belt - a strip of energetic charged particles held in place by the Earth's magnetic field. The radiation discharged by these particles can cause damage to electrical circuits on satellites and other space vehicles - for example, the Hubble Space Telescope usually has its instruments turned off if it has to pass through this region of radiation. So satellites and manned orbital vehicles tend to orbit below 2,000km. For further information on the Van Allen belt, please read the Related Links below.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
How can an orbit of a planet affect life on that planet?
The only planet in that category is the Earth, the planet most people live on. How does the orbit affect life? without the orbit there is no life on Earth, so it's fundamental really. The orbit keeps our temperature within narrow band so that life can exist and flourish. Without an orbit the Earth would travel off into outer space and the temperature would quickly descend below -200 degrees everywhere.
Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
If the earth falls clear out of the sky what is going to happen?
The earth is held in its orbit due to the gravitational effect of the sun. Were the sun to lose its gravity, the earth would fly off into space and quickly freeze.
Does the sun orbit Earth?
No, the sun does not orbit Earth. Earth orbits around the sun.
