How hot does a space shuttle get when re-enters earths atmosphere?
The leading edges of the Space Shuttle's wings get to almost 3000 deg F during a normal reentry into earth's atmosphere.
Why do space shuttles heat up when they re-enter into the earths atmosphere?
When the shuttle goes from the vacuum of space and enters the earths atmosphere, it heats up because of simple friction. The friction is from the shuttle going so fast and hitting the atmosphere. Same reason you sometimes see meteor showers.
How fast does a space shuttle need to be traveling when it leaves the earths atmosphere?
It has to travel at least 17,000MPH.
How fast does a space shuttle reenter the earths atmosphere?
About thirty times the speed of sound, Mach 30 approx.
Can the shuttle escape the earths atmosphere?
No it can't.
What does the shuttle pass through as it enters earths atmosphere?

Why does a space shuttle need to travel so fast when entering earths atmosphere?
Although it reaches incredible speeds, a Space Shuttle is not going fast when it enters the atmosphere. The gravitational pull of Earth, or just gravity, are pulling down on the space shuttle with immense force.
What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?
i think you mean atmosphere they normally go about 200,000 miles an hour when leaving earths atmosphere
How powerful are the engines in a space shuttle?
they are more powerful than the ones in a plane and a jet pack as they need to lift a 2 tonne space shuttle off and out of earths atmosphere
