What is ballon rocket Aim?

The balloon rocket main aim is to test the force of gravity in the outer space. The main aim of the balloon rocket is to investigate all forces that affect the earth and the outer space.


How long a rocket takes to fly to outer space?

It takes a rocket about 15-20 minutes to reach outer space, which begins at the Kármán line located 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth's surface. The exact time can vary depending on the rocket's speed and trajectory.


What is the G-force experienced by astronauts while the rocket escapes earth's gravity into outer space?

During a rocket launch, astronauts can experience up to 3-4 times the force of gravity (3-4G) depending on the rocket and mission profile. Once the rocket reaches outer space and escapes Earth's gravity, astronauts experience microgravity, where they feel weightless and are in free fall around the Earth.


Why does it require less fuel to accelerate a rocket in outer space than in Earth's atmosphere?

In outer space, there is no air resistance or drag to slow down the rocket, so less fuel is required to overcome these forces. Additionally, in the vacuum of space, the rocket does not have to fight against gravity as strongly as it does in Earth's atmosphere, leading to more efficient acceleration with less fuel.


What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?

Roughly 70% of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining percentage is reflected back into space by clouds, aerosols, and the Earth's surface.

How does it take from Earth to outer space?

Outer space is defined to start at about 100 km above Earth's surface; a rocket taking off can probably do that in a few minutes.

What is the rocket flight path from the earth to the moon?

Up through the atmosphere and through outer space.


What is the speed maintained by a rocket if it is launced in outer space so it will escape the earth's gravity?

According to most sources, the minimum speed needed to escape the Earth's gravity is 11.2km/s, so a rocket would need to travel at least this fast to get into outer space.


How does earth surface and the structures on the surface change as a result of An earthquake?

The surface of the Earth can be changed by resulting from outer space, like from a meteor strike.

Is an object on the surface earth sitting still relative to outer space?

No, it has the speed of the spinning earth.


What force pulls downwards on a rocket as it is launched into space?

Gravity is the force that pulls downwards on a rocket as it is launched into space. Gravity acts to pull the rocket back towards the Earth's surface.


What is the outer zone of the earths atmosphere?

The thermosphere is the outer layer of the earth's atmosphere. It extends from 80 kilometers above the earth's surface to outer space.
