How does the international space station travel?
The International Space Station is constantly circling the earth. It is in a state of freefall, meaning that it is literally "Falling" around the earth. Since the station falls at an angle relative to the ground, it will stay on a constant circular path around the earth, until some other force alters its path.
The path of a space object through space is called its?
Trajectory
Why does it take the space shuttle so long to get to the space station?
This is very hard to explain in just text, I recommend you look up videos Basically, when the shuttle launches its only goal is to get itself in a safe orbit and line its orbital path up with that of the space station. Once it is in a safe orbit maneuvering takes place that changes the size of the shuttle's orbit so that it either goes around slower or faster than the station so that it can catch up to the station or let the station catch up to it. Once they are close the shuttle must make its orbit the same as the station so as not to go past it and then it can make small adjustments in its orbit to dock

How long does it take to get to Uranus from earth with a space shuttle?
Space shuttles are not equipped to go on long distance voyages, nor can they hold enough fuel. shuttles are mostly used for travel to and from the International Space Station and low earth orbit. If you had an infinite supply of fuel and you could just rocket in a strait path while Uranus is at the closest point in its orbit it would only take a bit over a year. Unfortunately, you have to factor in the gravitational pull of surrounding bodies and as previously stated the limited amount of fuel. so it would be much much longer.

How does gravity affect the space station?
The International space station is constantly falling towards Earth under the pull of Earth's gravity (Just like any other object - gravity does not stop when you reach space!). However the Station is moving very fast horizontally and, as the Earth is a sphere, this means that as it falls its path takes it round the Earth in a circle - it is in "orbit". This means that if you are in the space station you are falling as fast as gravity can pull you and therefore you do not feel the pull of gravity, making you weightless.
