If a space shuttle is exiting the atmosphere do the windows turn red from the heat?
Funkmuscle
If the space shuttle is exiting the atmosphere, that means you are going into space then no the windows will not turn red. However if you are entering the atmosphere the friction caused by air molecules hitting the orbiter will create plasma around the shuttle. You will see a reddish orange glow out the windows but the windows themselves will not turn red.

Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle travel in?
the space shuttle travel in the trophosphere.
What was the 2nd space shuttle in space?
Second space shuttle in space was Challenger, but second space shuttle ever was Enterprise, what was made for testing in atmosphere.
What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia
How does a space shuttle cause friction?
A space shuttle still has to leave the atmosphere, we aren't building them in space. While leaving the atmosphere a space shuttle causes a lot of friction as it rubs against the air on the way up.
Why does The Space Shuttle Heat up when it is Travelling through the Earth's Atmosphere?
Because of the enormous amount of friction between Earth's atmosphere and the Space Shuttle.

Where would you find a space shuttle in the atmosphere?
I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.
What speed does a space shuttle reach before leaving the earth's atmosphere?
The space shuttle reaches 17,850 mph before leaving earth's atmosphere.

Why does the space shuttle have high speed in the atmosphere?
The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.
What was the need for a space shuttle?
To break the atmosphere and go into space easily.
Where do space shuttle exit and enter space?
The only way; the atmosphere.
What is the maximum speed of a space shuttle?
The maximum speed the space shuttle can attain is about 30,000 K MPH in atmosphere.
What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?
In the exosphere, Friction between the atmosphere and the shuttle creates the heat.
