Speed has no effect on you, and you can't even feel it. What you feel is changes in
either the speed or the direction of your motion. (Those changes are called "acceleration".)
Even on Earth, or at least near it, you can move at 500 mles per hour in an airliner, and it's
so smooth that you can read a book or doze off.

What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
Different if earth had an orbit like that of a comet?
our earth would be then fried, becasue the orbit of a comet orbits around the sun which cause the comet to be insanely high. which in one case would fry our earth if our orbit was near the sun
If a space vehicle is designed to orbit around the earth very slowly should it be put into a low or high orbit?
A high orbit. The effect of gravity gets less as you get further away from the Earth and so you'd need less speed to keep up.
How high above the Earth does the Hubble Space Telescope orbit?
The Hubble is in low earth orbit at about 589 km. A link can be found below which an investigator can follow for more information.
How fast are you moving relative to the earth when you are standing still?
"Standing still" IS a measurement relative to the Earth. Relative toother things, you are moving with high speeds in complicated paths.But relative to the Earth, you are standing still.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
Where would a satellite revolving around earth land if it crashed?
It will most likely burn up through the earths atmosphere on re-entry. The satellites travel at very high speeds, and are not designed to withstand the brunt of the earths atmosphere at the speeds at which they orbit the earth. You might get some bits left over, but these should be quite small. Operators try to land the satellite in the sea once it has reached the end of its life.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
How can we minimize the damage caused by a tornado?
The only thing we can do in that regard would be to build structures to withstand high wind speeds.
Are satellites in high earth orbit pulled to earth by gravity?
yes.
How do you use 'orbit' in a short sentence?
As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.

A high orbit. The effect of gravity gets less as you get further away from the Earth and so you'd need less speed to keep up.
Why doesn't gravity pull the satellite into the earth?
Because it's in the orbit of Earth. It's in the orbit of Earth because of gravity +++ Confused. A satellite is travelling at high speed (even if in geostationary orbit) so its inertia keeps it "up" by "centrifugal" force. If it slows it will start to return to Earth.
Why does the earth have a moon?
If there is no moon orbiting the earth, then there would be no low/high tides and the tip of the earth on it's axis would be "out-of-whack." The earth might spin out of orbit, resulting in a catastrophy. Everything on the earth would die if the orbit of the earth had something wrong with it.
How high above the earth does an orbit have to be?
Orbit can't be maintained in atmosphere. Some temporary low orbits are possible at lower heights. About the lowest possible orbit around the earth is 80 km high, but it will decay rapidly because it is still in the earth's atmosphere (the thermosphere). Even where the atmosphere is extremely thin (only a few molecules of gas in a cubic meter), the friction will eventually slow the orbit of a satellite or vehicle, and it will fall to earth.
What is the cause of high and low pressure areas?
the orbit of the moon around planet earth
