When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?
This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.
How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?

How far above earth does the hubble space telescope orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
What part of the galaxy you can visit through space tourism?
So far, space tourists have gone as far as the International Space Station, which is in orbit around the Earth. Tourism has not yet made any great inroads into the galaxy. We are awaiting improvements in the technology of interstellar travel.
How far can the Hubble telescope travel in space?
The Hubble Space Telescope does not travel through space in the way a spacecraft would; instead, it orbits Earth at an altitude of approximately 547 kilometers (about 340 miles). Its position is relatively fixed in low Earth orbit, allowing it to observe astronomical objects without the interference of Earth's atmosphere. While it remains in this orbit, it can capture images and data from distant galaxies and celestial phenomena billions of light-years away.
How far can a space shuttle travel?
There is no gravity therfore it will travel forever slowly speeding up and eventually travelling at 99.999% of the speed of light, if this object collides with another it will create a big bang
How far in space do you travel to get to the space station?
Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.
How has the space shuttle revolutionised space travel?
Yes! As far as space travel goes, Shuttles are basically our only way, at the moment, to travel far distances in the endless reaches of space. Apart from rockets which take take us from earth into space, and carry the heavy loads, shuttles are what are used mainly.
How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?
The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The sun's rays travel this distance through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth and provide light and heat.
About how far does sunlight travel through space before it reaches the Earth?
150 million km.
How far is it from the earth to space?
In order to answer that, we first have to agree on where 'space' begins.One possibility is to define the 'edge' of space as the altitude where the atmosphere becomesthin enough so that an object can orbit the earth, at least a few times, without being draggedout of orbit by air resistance.If you'll accept that definition for the 'beginning' of space, then the answer is: about 160 milesabove any point on the surface of the earth.
How long does it take a rocket to leave earth?
It takes about 8-15 minutes for a rocket to reach space after launch, depending on the rocket's size and specific trajectory. Once in space, it can take several hours to travel far enough from Earth to be considered as "leaving" it.
