All matter posesess gravity simply by it's presence. Matter curves the grid of space and time which make up the universe. That's when as the earth revolves around the sun. It's not actually going in a circle. Its going strait... But in curved space. The suns presence curves space and therefore pulls anything with less mass towards it.

To reach outer space rockets must escape what force?

To reach outer space, rockets must escape the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of a mass, such as the Earth. Rockets need to generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and reach escape velocity to enter outer space.

What must a rocket overcome to be launched into space?

Alright, it is mainly the force of gravity. This is because if there was no gravity, you do not heat energy to fire the rocket up.


Is dark energy following anti gravity rule?

well, i think that the answer to your question is yes. regular gravity bends space time drawing mass together, and anti gravity must be bending space time opposite to regular gravity and so, mass is pushed apart.


Why does a space shuttle have to travel so fast?

Space shuttles must travel at 11km/s so that they can escape the force of gravity. the force of gravity is approximately 9.81. If you don't travel at a greater speed than the force of gravity, the rocket will not launch.


What is the name for the speed a rocket must reach to escape the earth's gravity?

Escape velocity is the speed that a rocket must reach to break free from Earth's gravity and enter space. It is the minimum velocity required for an object to overcome the pull of Earth's gravity.


How come an asteroid have gravity but the space shuttle does not?

Technically all objects have gravity, however, an object's gravity depends on its mass. In order for its gravity to be noticeable an object must have a very large mass. The space shuttle weighs a couple thousand tons, which is not enough for there to be noticeable gravity. Many asteroids have masses of millions to trillions of tons.
