What else can I help you with?
Can you escape gravity by going above the earths atmosphere?
No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
Would astronauts be able to hear an explosion on the moon?
No, astronauts would not be able to hear an explosion on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium like air to travel through, and since the moon is airless, there would be no way for sound to propagate and reach the astronauts' ears.
How far do you have to travel in order to leave the earths atmosphere and go into space?
The boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space is defined by the Kármán line, which is at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. To officially leave Earth's atmosphere and reach space, you would need to travel at least this distance vertically.
What are people who travel space called?
People who travel in space are called astronauts.
How fast does a Spaceship have to go to get out of the atmosphere?
A spaceship needs to reach a speed of around 25,000 miles per hour (40,233 kilometers per hour) to break free from Earth's atmosphere and reach orbit. This speed is required to counteract the gravitational pull of Earth and escape its atmosphere.

No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
Why are rockets for deep space travel so huge?
they have to pass some forces in the earths atmosphere They have to overcome the force of gravity, lifting the rocket and all of the fuel to an escape orbit.
What is the difference between airplane and spaceshuttle?
Airplanes are used for transportation within the earths atmosphere where as spaceships are for travel outside and eventually back into the earths atmosphere
How high in the earths atmosphere does a space shuttle travel?
230 miles out into space
How does the temperature changes as you travel through earths atmosphere?
It changes to a next temperture
How long does it take to travel to space?
well, to get out of earths atmosphere into the edge of space is about 5-8 minutes
What word means sailer of the universe?

Which term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that travel through the Earths atmosphere and hit its surface?
Meteoroids are small chunks of rocks and debris in space that travel through Earth's atmosphere and hit its surface.
What are the roles of the space shuttles and space stations in the space program?
The ISS and shuttle programs were designed as a stepping stone to interplanetary travel. The programs test the ability of humans to endure long periods of exposure to living in space and conduct experiments on long term affects of space travel. Space travel to other planets would be best initiated outside the earths atmosphere and the Space Shuttle, as the name implies is the vehicle designed to transcend earth's atmosphere with equipment, supplies and astronauts.

How does the amount of change as you travel up through earths atmosphere?
The air molecules spreds out in space so there is not enough air to breathe for us there
