Orbit can't be maintained in atmosphere. Some temporary low orbits are possible at lower heights. About the lowest possible orbit around the earth is 80 km high, but it will decay rapidly because it is still in the earth's atmosphere (the thermosphere). Even where the atmosphere is extremely thin (only a few molecules of gas in a cubic meter), the friction will eventually slow the orbit of a satellite or vehicle, and it will fall to earth.

How many miles high is orbit of ISS?
The orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) is approximately 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth's surface.
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
What is the height of the shuttle orbit?
The height of the typical space shuttle orbit is around 300 kilometers (186 miles) above the Earth's surface. This height allows the shuttle to orbit within the Earth's atmosphere yet still be in microgravity conditions.
How high does the space shuttle fly above the earth?
200-300 nautical miles depending on the mission
What direction moon orbit around earth?
the moon travels from west to east in its orbit
How far would an astronaut travel in 24 hours if he orbited earth every 2 hours?
This depends on how high above the earth his orbit is. It is not the speed of his orbit which determines his distance travelled - the orbit is a circle and the perimeter of the circle (distance travelled) depends on the radius (height above the earth) of that circle.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
How many miles high is orbit of ISS?
The orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) is approximately 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth's surface.
How high above the Earth does the Hubble Space Telescope orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits approximately 547 kilometers (340 miles) above the surface of the Earth. It travels at a speed of about 27,000 kilometers per hour (17,000 miles per hour), completing a full orbit around the Earth roughly every 97 minutes.
How far above the earth surface stupnikin orbit?
Stupnikin orbit does not exist. Do you mean the Sputnik orbit? The Sputnik 1 satellite orbited Earth at an altitude of approximately 215 to 939 kilometers (133 to 583 miles) above the Earth's surface.
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
What is a good sentence with the word orbit but used as a noun?
The earth's orbit around the sun is not round. The satellite's orbit kept it at a fixed altiitude above earth.
Which layer do most satellite orbit earth?
Most satellites orbit Earth in the low Earth orbit (LEO) which is between 160 to 2,000 kilometers (100 to 1,240 miles) above the Earth's surface.
Why are satellites high up above the earth?
Because satellites can't stay in orbit if they're moving through air, so they have to be high enough where there's no air.
What is the height of the shuttle orbit?
The height of the typical space shuttle orbit is around 300 kilometers (186 miles) above the Earth's surface. This height allows the shuttle to orbit within the Earth's atmosphere yet still be in microgravity conditions.
How far above the earth does the spacestation orbit?
The ISS orbits at an altitude of 400 km (250 miles) above Earth.
