A spacecraft is typically orbiting in the thermosphere, which extends from about 80 kilometers (50 miles) above the Earth's surface to around 600 kilometers (373 miles). This layer contains a small amount of air, which allows for low atmospheric drag, making it suitable for satellites and the International Space Station. However, some spacecraft can also operate in the exosphere, the outermost layer, where they are positioned at higher altitudes.
What else can I help you with?
In what layer of the atmosphere would a spacecraft be?
A spacecraft would be outside the atmosphere - that is, it would ideally be at such an altitude that there is no longer any significant atmosphere.
What do they call the big grass on an orbiting satellite?
The big grass on an orbiting satellite would be called a park in space!
What equipment would you need to go to Jupiter?
To go to Jupiter, you would need a spacecraft capable of withstanding the extreme radiation and atmospheric pressure of the planet, as well as the long duration of the journey. This spacecraft would require advanced life support systems, radiation shielding, propulsion systems, communication equipment, and scientific instruments to study Jupiter and its moons.
What would happen if you climbed out of a spacecraft onto the surface of Venus?
This would depend on whether somebody climbed out the spacecraft wearing an advanced protective suit. The atmospheric pressure on Venus is high enough to crush a nuclear submarine like a tin can and the surface temperature is at least twice as hot as your oven on maximum setting. without the futuristic protective suit, somebody would cook very quickly because it would be like being put in a large high pressure/temperature pressure cooker!
Can the pendulum clock be used to measure time in a spaceship orbiting around the earth?
Yes, a pendulum clock can be used to measure time in a spaceship orbiting around Earth as long as it is not influenced by the acceleration and deceleration forces of the spacecraft. In a zero-gravity environment, a pendulum clock would still oscillate at its regular rate and can be used to measure time intervals.
In what layer of the atmosphere would a spacecraft be?

Which weighs more an orbiting spacecraft or its astronaut?
Weight in orbit would be equal--Zero. The difference would be mass...
What is in atmospheric layers?
The coldest layer of the atmosphere is the exosphere (space). If you were to not count the exosphere, the coldest layer would be the mesosphere.
Why do you not feel weightless if flying in a large airplane at a high altitute but if you were in an orbiting spacecraft you would constantly feel weightless?
In an airplane, you are still affected by Earth's gravity as the plane is flying against the pull of gravity, creating lift and keeping you pressed down towards the floor. In an orbiting spacecraft, you are in free fall around Earth, so you and the spacecraft are falling towards Earth at the same rate hence you experience weightlessness.
What do they call the big grass on an orbiting satellite?
The big grass on an orbiting satellite would be called a park in space!
How far would a spacecraft go in 50 seconds?
Assuming your referring to an orbiting spacecraft, which travels around 17,000 MPH.First convert 50 seconds into the fraction of an hour = about 0.0139 hours, multiply this times 17,000 and that's 236.11111 miles in 50 seconds.

Who was the astronaut who experience weightlessness while orbiting the earth?
Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.
What is a long-term orbiting platform from which other vehicles can be launched?
If you wanted to, you could call it the National Orbiting Vehicle-Launching Platform. But as soon as the newspapers got ahold of it, they would shorten the name down to something like "space station".
What would happen if a voyager landed on Jupiter?
If a Voyager spacecraft were to land on Jupiter, it would be crushed by the immense pressure of Jupiter's atmosphere, which is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. The spacecraft would also be subject to intense radiation, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures, making it impossible for any human-made spacecraft to survive on the surface of Jupiter.
What sphere would lightning be found?
Lightning does not have cells, does not have a metabolism, does not reproduce, does not maintain homeostasis, and does not respond to stimuli.
Why do think a spacecraft would not be able to land on any of the outer planets?
The outer planets are gas giants, made mostly or entirely of gas, so either there is no surface to land on, or even if there is, it lies underneath such a large amount of atmosphere that the atmospheric pressure would crush any spaceship that tried to land there. However, the outer planets also have lots of moons, which would be very suitable places for spacecraft to land.
