How is a rocket able to escape earth's gravity?
It can never escape it entirely. It can, however, travel fast enough that the increasing distance outweighs the effect of the decreasing gravity. On earth, this velocity is about seven miles per second.
How fast does the earth spin in Sacramento?
That depends on where on Earth you are standing. At the poles, the Earth hardly spins at all, but as you travel towards the equator, the rotational speed picks up
What causes the effect of microgravity when the space shuttle is orbiting the earth?
When the space shuttle is orbiting the Earth, the effect of microgravity is caused by the spacecraft and everything inside it being in free fall towards the Earth. The sensation of weightlessness occurs because both the shuttle and any objects inside are falling at the same rate, creating the illusion of zero gravity.
Why must the space shuttle go so fast?
The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.
Why doesn't the Earth fall into the Sun?
The Earth does not fall into the sun because it is moving fast enough around it. Imagine a weight on the end of a string like a conker, with the weight being the earth, and where you hold the string being the sun. If you swing it around fast enough, the weight spins in circles and does not go near your hand, but if you swing it slowly, the weight will fall in. So because the earth is spinning fast enough around the sun, it does not fall in.
Why don't things fly off the surface of the earth when it spins at such a high speed?
1.Earth has Strong Gravity. 2.Earth doesn't spins so fast!
What is the effect of the fast rotation of earth on its axis?
The earth spins faster than the planets Mercury and Venus, meaning that its apparent days are shorter (24 hours).
Which planet spins almost as fast as Earth?
Jupiter
How fast does Saturn spin?
Saturn spins faster then earth
How is a rocket able to escape earth's gravity?

Which planet spins as fast as the Earth?
Mars is about the closest to the Earth's rotation among the planets in our solar system. Earth spins in 24 hours; Mars takes 24 hours 40 minutes.
How come when the earth takes a spin our houses direction does not change with it?
Earth spins so fast,you don't feel it
What does revolution mean in the Earth?
it means how fast the earth spins once and how much it takes to spin around the sun
How fast will gravety pull water?
Gravity has the exact same effect on water as it does any other substance. In "Earth-normal" gravity, it pulls with a force of approximately 9.8 Neutons per gram.
How can you stay on earth when moving so fast?
Gravity.
Why sunset is fast?
The appearance of the sun setting quickly is an optical illusion caused by the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins, the sun appears to move across the sky, creating the effect of a fast-setting sun. In reality, the sun sets at a consistent rate.
Why does the earth spins fast?
due to the gravity force Whatever the reason, it's not gravity. It depends on your point of view. There are some objects out there that are bigger than the earth and spin a lot faster than the earth. Small asteroids spin faster too ("tumbling"). The angular momentum gained by a space object is an accumulation of "hits" or "collections" that arrive on the surface from elsewhere and strike in a direction not through the center of mass. Due to tidal effects the moon now only spins once a month.
