When we fly on earth or on other planets, we call this atmospheric flight. When we fly without the forces of a planet pulling on the spacecraft, which only occurs in space, hence we call it space flight. The reason these are differentiated is because of whether or not there are air molecules are present. With air molecules (atmospheric flight) Bernoulli's Principle applies, which explains air flow, and in the space flight it does not apply.

When did the shuttle enterprise first fly?
Because Enterprise was built as a test vehicle for atmospheric test flights and landings it never flew a space mission. Its 1976 unveiling was in Palmdale, CA and its first atmospheric test flight was in 1977.
What is the difference between aerospace and aeronautic?
Aerospace is an area of technology and science which include atmospheric and space travel whereas Aeronautical is an area of technology and science which focus on specific atmospheric craft. Vishalketu Gajjar
Which of the atmospheric layers blends into space?
The exosphere
What is a manned space flight?
Manned space flight is a voyage into space with a human passenger on board.
What atmospheric layer approaches the edge of space?
ionosphere
What is the difference between plane flight and space flight?
space flight you go to outer space regualr flight flight you stay around earth
Why does the space shuttle lift off at night?
Sometimes the space shuttle lifts off at night because atmospheric conditions necessitate it, or the trajectory of the flight might work better at night.
What is the difference between airplanes flight and space flight?
Airplane stay Inside The Atmosphere. Spaceships Dont, They Go Outside Of The Atmosphere

Two categories of hazards within a confined space are?
Atmospheric and non-atmospheric
Atmospheric pressure on the top of a wing in flight is?
Low. High on the bottom low on the top creating lift. The faster the airflow the greater the pressure difference and the greater the lift.
What atmospheric conditions can affect the visibility of an aircraft in flight?
secret
Why do you have ear pain when you take a flight?
Change of atmospheric pressure.
Which of the atmospheric layers blends into space?
The exosphere
What is a manned space flight?
Manned space flight is a voyage into space with a human passenger on board.
Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
