Where does the Space junk that orbits the Earth come from?

It comes from pieces that fall of satellites or that are blown of satellites when they collide or are blasted by a missile. Some of the space junk is also spent rocket stages.


Is space junk real?

Yes it is, space junk , space junk orbits the earth just above it atmoshpere . Space junk consists of debris from shuttle and rockets sent to the moon or to explore deep space. ░¤JΣ†¤░


What are the dangers of space junk?

Everything is attracted to everything else by gravity. So, over time, space junk will attract other space junk and join with it. This larger amount of space junk could potentially come closer and closer to Earth (as the force of gravity on it is now greater, and with a greater mass it becomes more difficult to keep it in orbit). Eventually it might crash into the Earth, conditional on not burning up in the atmosphere. The orbit of space junk could bring it in contact with, destroy and make space junk of, commuication satellites, probes, telescopes etc.

Does space junk interact with asteroids?

This would happen, space junk could collide with asteroids, but most space junk is close to the earth, away from the main asteroid belt. It would be more likely to collide with meteroids and other bits of space junk.
