No. The space station is in a stable orbit around the earth. Eventually, the orbit will decay and the station will begin falling toward the earth if steps are not taken to reestablish the stable orbit.

What is the source of the centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the earth?

The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.


What does the gravitational pull of the earth keep around it?

The moon, satellites, international space station, and everything else orbiting the earth.


International space station orbits the air in an approximately circular orbit at a high 375 km above the earth surface in one complete orbit is the work done by the earth on the space station positive?

No, the work done by the Earth on the space station is not positive. The gravitational force between the Earth and the space station acts towards the center of the Earth, which is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the space station. Therefore, the work done by the Earth on the space station is zero because the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other.


Does a space station have a moon?

No. It is much too small to attract something to orbit it and have the gravitational pull to keep it there, like the Earth does to our moon, or the Sun does to Earth.


How fast does a space station orbit around the earth?

A typical space station, like the International Space Station (ISS), orbits the Earth at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour). This high speed is necessary to balance the gravitational pull of Earth and maintain a stable orbit around the planet.


Does the international space station have kinetic energy?

Yes to both, relative to Earth, because work was done to lift it in Earth's gravitational field and to impart speed to it.


What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?

When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.

How does the space station stay in space?

As you may know already there is not much gravity in space maybe Evan none. So in order for something as large as the space station it stays in space by the gravitational pull form Earth I guess?
