Can a helicopter or plane get out of the gravitational pull on earth?

That deppends... if you mean the atmosphere which would equal zero gravity than yes but the earths gravitational pull is what keeps the moon where it is so the planes or helicopters wouldn't be able to get completely out of the pull

What hlods the air around the earth?
The gravitational pull of the Earth's core.
Does the gravitational attraction between earth and an asteroid decrease as the asteroid approaches earth?
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.
Why does earth have mean diameter?
Plate tectonics, rotation, and gravitational pull of the Sun, shift the Earth slightly, so that the Earth bulges near the Equator.
What controls the tides?
The Moon's gravitational pull, as it goes around the Earth, makes the waters of the seas follow its motion. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, the seas have the least gravitational pull and seem to be pushed away from the moon. Because of these two gravitational effects, there are two high tides for each orbit of the Moon around the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth almost every twenty-four hours, there are two tides every day.
Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.
Why won't a helicopter that hovers for 12hrs end up on the other side of the earth when it lands 12hrs later?
The helicopter that is hovering over a place on the earth is n bound to the earth by the gravitational force of the earth. This gravitational attractive force on the helicopter is directed towards the center of the earth. As the earth rotates around itself the helicopter is pulled along with it. So the point directly below the earth's surface does not get displaced. Thus the helicopter cannot move away from the spot. For the helicopter to get itself free from the gravitational pull of the earth it has to be lifted to a height of millions of kilometers, where it cannot hover because a helicopter requires the presence of air to hover.
What is Uranus' gravitational pull relevant to Earth's?
uranus's gravitational pull is 91% or earth's.
How far from the earth is the gravitational pull of the earth the same as the gravitational pull of the moon?
i dont now
Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
What is the force that tries to pull the rocket back to earth?
Gravitational Pull.
What causes the oceans tides?
Earth's tides are caused by the interaction of:the gravitational pull of the moonthe gravitational pull of the sunthe rotation of the Earth
What keeps earth in its orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
Is the gravitational pull on the moon stronger or weaker than the gravitational pull on the earth?
weaker
What is dependent on gravitational pull?
Any two objects with mass will have a gravitational force. The orbit of planets around stars depends on the gravitational pull of the star. The Earth exerts a gravitational pull on its moon but the moon also exerts a pull on the Earth.
What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.
Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?
No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull
How would you expect earth's gravitational pull on you high in the Rocky Mountains to be different to be from a pull on a sea shore?
The earth's gravitational pull decreases as altitude increases.
