What happens to all the space debris and is there a danger from it?

A lot of the debris close to earth will end up coming back to the planet eventually, most of it will burn up in the atmosphere. It's not really dangerous to us on earth, but will present some danger to things in space, particularly close to the earth as more space debris accumulates.

What happens when there is too much space junk in space?
we all die
What happens when your in space?
its all dark and if you have got a space suit on you float
What happens to a space suit when it ruptures in space?
All the air inside it is sucked out causing the wearer to die.
What happens if you fart in a space suit?
It would be the worst kind of fart ever:you couldn't deny it, you couldn't escape it and the smell would stay with you all the way back to the space station.
How are meteorites formed?
Is there a danger of a rocket hitting space debris when leaving earths atmosphere?
Absolutely and it happens. One of the space shuttles was hit by a fragment of a bolt and it punched a crater in the windshield several inches in diameter and nearly halfway through! Just imagine if the fragment had been a bit bigger and gone all the way through! The US Air Force NORAD base in Colorado tracks every piece of space debris the size of a pea or bigger using RADAR to try to minimize the chance of such impacts.

Given the speeds involved collisions between items in space would cause significant damage so why aren't people on space walks satellites space telescopes smashed by debris?
Simple, F=MV, or force equals mass times velocity. Most of the "debris" in space is dust, and is all but microscopic. Therefore it lacks the mass required to be destructive. If it was just speed, we would have all been torn to bits by the biliions of photons we are bombarded with everyday. That being said, there have been several spacecraft and satellites damaged by space debris, no larger than a pea, or pebble. people have this stuff that is called space shuttle to go to space
Was there any damage where the pieces where found from the challenger space shuttle?
All ofChallenger's debris landed into the ocean just off the Kennedy Space Center. No one on the surface was struck.
What happens after you put all the jewels in the totem?
It will blast out into space.
What do they use to move space debris from the sun?
shut up stupid people im only calling you stupid cause your all stupid
What happens to a space suit when it ruptures in space?
All the air inside it is sucked out causing the wearer to die.
What happens to objects that fall from space towards earth?
they all fall back into space like gravity.
Can you use debris in a exclamation sentence?
Look at all this debris!
How do space stations avoid being hit by asteroids?
The space station is really never at risk from Asteroids. An asteroid is like a small planet in size, so if by small chance one ever came close to Earth, we would probably all be doomed. However there is all kinds of space debris that the space station must be protected from. The most common threat is from micro meteorites. These are small particles of space rock that are usually only a few grams in size. It is impossible to avoid them, so spacecraft are designed to survive impacts. There are larger, more dangerous types of debris too, such as broken satellites, lost equipment, or even rocket boosters. The U.S. Strategic Command keeps a catalogue of over 19,000 pieces of space debris 10 cm in diameter and larger. If the space station ever gets too close, it will fire rocket engines to avoid the debris.
Why are meteoroid are rubbish in the sky?
Space has lots of debris in it from various things. Comets leave trails of dust as they move through space. When Earth passes through these areas of dust, as happens several times a year, we see these bits of dust burning up in our atmosphere as meteors. Some people refer to them as shooting stars. The planets, their moons and the asteroids have left bits of debris in the sky too. This happened as they were forming. All of these things can be described as dirt and dust, and so they can be referred to as rubbish in the sky.
