Yes - orbit means going round

so going straight out is not orbit

When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?

This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.


Where in the atmosphere does the space shuttle go into orbit?

600km


Where does nitrogen go when it leaves the atmosphere?

It stays in the air.. It doesn't leave the atmosphere.


How fast do you have to travel in order to leave the earth's atmosphere and go into space?

The speed at which forward velocity carries an object into orbit (falling past the Earth's edge) is called "escape velocity". With no atmopheric friction or a counteracting acceleration, the object can coast in a stable orbit. The speed required, as measured at the Earth's surface, is 11.2 kilometers per second (7 miles/sec) or about 25,000 mph. That is the speed needed to leave Earth's atmosphere and go into space.


Can the planet Venus' go out of its orbit?

Planet Venus cannot leave its orbit by itself. A sufficiently close encounter with a object of sufficient mass will perturb its orbit. If the object is large enough and close enough, Venus (or any planet) could leave the orbit of the Sun.


Is it possible for someone to hack a forum account and not leave an ip address?

No. Everywhere you go on the Internet, you leave your IP address.


Is it possible to make the earth go farther from sun and so make the planet cooler?

It is not humanly possible at this time to alter earth's orbit around the sun.


Were on earth is their no gravity?

Well on earth everywhere this is gravity. but once you leave earth there is no more gravity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, gravity is present through out all space. When you leave the Earth and go into orbit round it, it APPEARS that there is no gravity, but gravity is causing you to orbit the Earth. You do not feel this gravity because you are in free fall.


Is Orbit Send With Satellite?

The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.


Can you go and see black holes with a space shuttle?

No. The spac shuttle does not go beyond low Earth orbit. To see a black hole would require interstellar travel, which is not possible with current technology and might never be possible.


What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?

A spacecraft travelling at approximately 25,000 miles per hour can escape Earth's orbit. This speed is known as the escape velocity and allows the spacecraft to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth.


How far do you have to travel in order to leave the earths atmosphere and go into space?

The boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space is defined by the Kármán line, which is at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. To officially leave Earth's atmosphere and reach space, you would need to travel at least this distance vertically.
