Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle travel in?
The space shuttle travels in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is the layer located above the mesosphere. This layer is where temperatures can reach very high levels due to its proximity to space.
Is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the earth?
Satellites and the space shuttle orbit in the thermosphere, a layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the mesosphere and exosphere. Temperatures in the thermosphere can reach up to 2,500°C due to the absorption of solar radiation.
How do astronauts travel in space and escape earths atmosphere?
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
Space shuttles travel in what layer of the atmosphere?
Space shuttles travel in the thermosphere, which is the second highest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from about 80 km to 550 km above the Earth's surface and is where the International Space Station orbits.
Why does a space shuttle need to travel so fast when entering earths atmosphere?
Although it reaches incredible speeds, a Space Shuttle is not going fast when it enters the atmosphere. The gravitational pull of Earth, or just gravity, are pulling down on the space shuttle with immense force.

What is the outer layer of the atmosphere in which the space shuttle flies?
the exosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
Thermosphere
The is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the Earth?
exosphere
How high in the earths atmosphere does a space shuttle travel?
230 miles out into space

What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?
We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.
What layer of earth's atmosphere merges into outer space?
The layer of Earth's atmosphere that merges into outer space is known as the exosphere. This is the outermost layer of the atmosphere where gas molecules are so sparse that they can travel long distances without colliding with each other.
What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia
