Would you have a shadow if you go faster than the speed of light?

No, if you were able to travel faster than the speed of light, you would not have a shadow because light would not be able to keep up with your speed to create one. The theory of relativity states that nothing with mass can travel at or faster than the speed of light.


What is a space shuttle's lift off speed?

Since just before liftoff the speed is zero, the speed 'at liftoff' is just a tiny bit faster than zero. The speed gets faster and faster as time passes and the rocket moves up. The Space Shuttle goes from zero to 17,000 mph in 8.5 minutes. The speed of the gases exiting the Solid Rocket Booster motor is 6,000 mph -- three times the speed of a high-powered rifle.


How does the mass of a planet affect the speed of a moon that orbits it?

The mass of a planet affects the speed of a moon that orbits it through gravity. The greater the mass of a planet, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts on its moon, causing the moon to orbit at a faster speed to counteract this force. Therefore, a more massive planet typically results in a faster orbiting speed for its moon.


Which moves faster Jupiter or Mars?

Jupiter moves faster than Mars. Jupiter's average orbital speed around the Sun is about 13.07 km/s, while Mars's average orbital speed is about 24.08 km/s.


Why does the earth move faster in January?

Any planet moves faster when it is in perihelion. It might be said that "falling toward the Sun" the Earth acquired more speed. In June, when it is again moving away from the Sun (against the Sun's gravity), its speed is less.
