What is a definition for orbit and atmosphere?
Definition for : ORBIT : A fixed path on which a planet moves around a star. ATMOSPHERE : A layer of air (composed of different gases e.g. oxygen, nitrogen etc. ) surrounding the Earth.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
How high above the Earth does the Hubble Space Telescope orbit?
The Hubble is in low earth orbit at about 589 km. A link can be found below which an investigator can follow for more information.
If a space vehicle is designed to orbit around the earth very slowly should it be put into a low or high orbit?
A high orbit. The effect of gravity gets less as you get further away from the Earth and so you'd need less speed to keep up.
LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
Does the sun orbit on Earth?

What is an orbit that is within the outermost part of earth atmosphere?
It is called a low earth orbit
What is an orbit that is within the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere?
It is called a low earth orbit
What orbit is still in the outermost part of earth's atmosphere?
A low Earth orbit is an orbit still in the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere. This kind of orbit occurs a few hundred kilometers into the atmosphere.
What types of satellites are used to provide satellite Internet access?
A: Low Earth orbit, B: Medium Earth orbit, & D: Geosynchronous orbit.
What are the orbital communications satellites are placed in called?

Mercury . . . carried one astronaut at a time, into low earth orbit. Gemini . . . carried two astronauts at a time, into low earth orbit. Apollo . . . carried three astronauts at a time, into low earth orbit, trans-lunar injection, lunar orbit, and two of them to a lunar landing.
Where have space shuttles been?
only to low Earth orbit.
