How much fuel is consumed by the space shuttle for it to leave the atmosphere?

A single shuttle usually uses over a million pounds of solid propellant. This is the propellant that can be used to exit the atmosphere, while the 500,000 gallons of liquid fuel are used outside of the atmosphere.


How are space shuttles powered once out of earth's atmosphere?

Space shuttles are powered using rocket engines that burn liquid fuel (such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen) or solid rocket boosters. Once out of Earth's atmosphere, the space shuttle relies on these engines to propel itself through space and maneuver in a zero-gravity environment.

Is aurora light a solid liquid or a gas?

Aurora light, or auroras, are not a solid, liquid, or gas; rather, they are a natural light display caused by the interaction of charged particles from the solar wind with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. This interaction excites gases in the atmosphere, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, causing them to emit light. The resulting phenomenon is visible as colorful waves or curtains of light in the sky, primarily near the polar regions.
