What else can I help you with?
How much space junk is orbiting the earth?
none ,there isnt any
What are other dangers in outer space?
well i think they would mostly be space junk check this out its the earth http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/space-junk-4.jpg and all that white stuff is space junk orbiting earth.
What were the US satellites?
There are over 1000 operational satellites orbiting the Earth, and probably 10,000 pieces of "space junk" also orbiting the Earth.
What happens to the junk thrown by astronomers in the space station and space shuttles Does it stay afloat?
It usually stays in orbit around the earth, and poses a serious threat to all orbiting satellites. Even a small object can destroy things at high speed. Most satellites can move around projected paths of junk thrown in space. Some astronomers use radio telescopes to track "Space Junk".
Is there a satellite around earth and what is it called?
Yes. The earth has many man-made satellites orbiting the earth, but there's also one natural satellite. This satellite is the moon, orbiting earth at about 2288 miles per hour (3683 kilometers per hour)
What is the small debris orbiting a world called?
Space junk if that's what you're thinking.
Is space junk real?
Yes, space junk is real. It consists of defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and other debris left in orbit around Earth. This space debris poses a risk to active satellites and spacecraft in orbit.
Is Saturn Space Junk?
No. Space junk consists of fragments of spacecraft left in space. Saturn is a planet.
Who first discovered space junk?
Space junk was first discovered in 1957 by the U.S. military tracking systems. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, which left debris in orbit around Earth, leading to the realization of space junk.
What do you call the 6000 useless objects orbiting our planet?
They are called space junk, and there are about 20,000 now that are large enough to be tracked.
What is space junkwhere does space junk come from?
bits of space craft remains and it comes from earth
Where does space junk come from?
Space junk comes from defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and debris from spacecraft collisions or explosions. Over time, these objects break apart and create smaller fragments that continue to orbit Earth. The accumulation of space junk poses a threat to operational satellites and space missions in Earth's orbit.
