Yes. Earth's gravity is still very present at 36,000 km. This is what keeps geosynchronous satellites in orbit. Earth is the dominant gravitational body much farther out than that, to a distance of about 1.5 million km. Beyond that distance there is still gravity, but the sun, not Earth, dominates.

What altitude is the pressure in earth's atmosphere equal to that of mars?
30 to 60 kms
How many circumference of the earth at the equator is approximately how long in kms?
40,073 km
Does the earth orbit twice as fast as mars?
Not quite exactly, or nowhere-near, depending on what you mean by "how fast".Period of orbitEarth . . . 365.26 earth-daysMars. . . . 686.97 earth-daysThe Earth takes 53.2% as long as Mars does to orbit the sun. But that's "orbiting about twice as frequently", not "orbiting twice as fast".Average orbital speedEarth . . . 29.8 kms-1Mars. . . . 24.1 kms-1Earth only moves 26% faster than Mars in its orbit.
How far are greenhouse gases from the surface of the earth?
Greenhouse gasses are all around us. In fact, you breathe out carbon dioxide every time you exhale, and when you drink water, you're conusming H2O, which in vapor form is also a greenhouse gas.
What kms stand for?
'kms' is the abbreviation for 'kilometers' which is a measure of distance equal to about 0.62 miles.
How long would it take to travel from earth to Venus at a rate of 36000 kilometers per second?
This depends completely on how close Venus is to the Earth as they have different orbital periods and so the distance between varies greatly. Currently Venus is approximately 2.421 x 108 km from Earth as of 06 November 2009. At 36000 kms-1 it would taken around 1 hour 52 minutes to travel this distance.
How far do you travel for a one hour time change?
We travel about 1670.45 kms per hour relative to the space. Earth takes full circle in 24 hrs. So total distance covered in 24 hrs by any body present on the surface of the earth is equal to the circumference of the earth, which is 2*pi*r where "r" the radius of earth is 6378.1 kms.
How high does a rocket have to go above Earth's surface until its weight is half what it would be on Earth?
Gravitational pull provides weight to each object. This pull is from the center of the earth which is 6378 km from the surface. To decrease your weight by half, one needs to travel another 2641.9 km from the surface.
What is the escape velocity from the surface of Mars?
It is 5.0 kms or kilometers per seconed
If you fall 12 756.2 kilometers with gravity how fast would you be going after the fall?
You don't fall when you are at a height of 12756.2 kms above the sea level because you are in space. Depending on the meagre gravity exerted by earth, you will descend slowly. May be when you cross earth's orbit and enter the atmospheric layer, your speed might increase but it will not be vertical fall.
What does sq kms mean?
it is the si unit to measure the area of surface. 1 sq km = 1,000,000 sq meter
How far is Lisbon from Fatima?
According to Google Earth, 128 kms.
When does aphelion and perhelion fall?
whan the earth is about 152million kms(farthest) to the sun it is aphelion and when it is 146 million kms away from sun it(nearest) it is perhelion
How many square kilometres of earth is tundra?
About one fifth of the earth's land is Tundra, as the Earth has about 57.5 million square miles (149 million sq kms) of land. This is around 11.5 million sq miles (29.8 million sq kms).
How many circumference of the earth at the equator is approximately how long in kms?
40,073 km
What altitude is the pressure in earth's atmosphere equal to that of mars?

How far is it from Bristol to lisbon?
According to Google Earth 2.089 kms by road.
