In what layer of the atmosphere would a spacecraft be?
A spacecraft would be outside the atmosphere - that is, it would ideally be at such an altitude that there is no longer any significant atmosphere.
In what year did a team of American astronauts first met and connected with a spacecraft in orbit?
That would be Gemini 8. Neil Armstrong and David Scott docked with an unmanned Agena target vehicle on March 16th, 1966. The two spacecraft remained docked for approximately 31 minutes before a malfunctioning thruster on the Gemini spacecraft forced Armstrong to undock and terminate the mission after only 10 hours 37 minutes.
What is the layer of gases that covers a planet star or moon?
That would be its Atmosphere.
What is the name of the middle layer of the sun's atmosphere?
Considering the solar atmosphere to have three layers (photosphere, chromosphere, and corona), the "middle" would be the chromosphere.
Why can astronauts not use parachutes to help slow down their spacecraft?
The fabric of the parachute would catch on fire as they made contact with the atmosphere
In what layer of the atmosphere would a spacecraft be?

Which layer of the atmosphere is named after its high temperature?
The only layer I could think of would be the Thermosphere. The reason why this part of the atmosphere is so hot is that it is the top layer of the atmosphere.
What is the third layer of the atmosphere from earth surface?
the third layer of the atmosphere would be the mesosphere. this is the layer that burns up the meteorites before they reach earth.
What is the coldest layer of the atmosphere?
The mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that exists between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. It contains the coldest parts of the Earth's atmosphere, reaching temperature depths of -90°C.
What layer of the atmosphere would a tornado occur in?
A tornado would occur in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.

What layer of the atmosphere would you be in if there was a thunder storm?
the troposphere.
Which part of the apple would represent the thickness of the lower layer of the atmosphere?
The edible part, because the "lower layer of the atmosphere" would be the troposphere that takes 75% of the mass of air in the atmosphere itself. The core is the earth, and the skin is the rest of the atmosphere.
Why did the Apollo 13 spacecraft have a parachute?
The same reason why all spacecrafts have parachutes: During reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft goes extremely fast. And if there are people in the spacecraft and no parachute, they would slam into the water at that speed and it would be like hitting concrete. So without a parachute, everyone on the spacecraft would be killed.

Why should a spacecraft be space-tight?
Any suddenly opening appearing in the skin of the spacecraft would allow the atmosphere inside the craft to escape out into space - causing decompression.
Which layer would have the most air pollution on the atmosphere?
The troposphere
