What else can I help you with?
What is the action of the spacecraft leaving the earth called?
escape velocity if its leaving earths gravity
Can a Boeing 747 fly into a black hole at the edge of your universe?
No. It cannot escape the Earths gravity.
What is stronger than earths gravity?
The gravity of a black hole is stronger than Earth's gravity. Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from them.
Can you escape gravity by going above the earths atmosphere?
No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
How does a rocket make enough thrust to escape earths gravity?
Today's rockets use chemical fuel for this. That is, they burn something.
How do astronauts travel in space and escape earths atmosphere?
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
Would a spacecraft need as much fuel to escape from the moons gravity as it would to escape from the earths?
Escape velocity for the moon is a little over 5000 miles per hour. For the earth it is about 25,000 miles per hour. So the moon requires a fifth of the energy required to escape the earth.
Why boosters are used in space shuttle?
Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.
How do you beat gravity on Earth?
To overcome gravity, you must reach "Escape Velocity" to overcome gravity and escape a planet's orbit.
Why are rockets for deep space travel so huge?
they have to pass some forces in the earths atmosphere They have to overcome the force of gravity, lifting the rocket and all of the fuel to an escape orbit.
How is the force of earths gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
When on Earth, you can escape if you move away from the Earth at the "escape" speed. Gravity will slow you down and you will reach zero speed at an infinite distance.
How fast does a space shuttle travel in 500 seconds?
To escape the Earths gravity the shuttle goes 17,500 miles an hour. You can use that value to figure out how far it goes in 500 seconds.
