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 else can I help you with?
What happens when there is too much space junk in space?
When there is too much space junk in space, it increases the risk of collisions with active satellites, spacecraft, and the International Space Station. These collisions can create more debris and further exacerbate the problem in a cascading effect known as the Kessler Syndrome. This can threaten future space missions and the sustainability of activities in space.
Is anyone cleaning space junk?
There are efforts by various space agencies and companies to address the issue of space junk through the development of technologies like debris removal missions and concepts for debris tracking and mitigation. However, there is no single entity solely responsible for cleaning up all space junk at this time.
Is space junk radioactive?
Not all space junk is radioactive. Space debris can consist of defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, or fragments from previous space missions, which may or may not contain radioactive material depending on their original purpose. However, precautions are taken when handling or encountering space junk to ensure safety.
What are the space exploration drawbacks?
Some drawbacks of space exploration include the high cost involved in developing and launching missions, the risks to human astronauts in space, the potential for space debris to pose a threat to satellites and spacecraft, and the ethical concerns surrounding the commercialization and militarization of space.
What happens to a space probe when it has finished transmitting?
Presumably you mean when it runs out of power to the point that it is no longer capable of transmitting at all. If it is, for example, Voyager, then it will continue to drift out into deep space for probably longer than the human species will exist. It might eventually fall into the gravity well of a black hole somewhere, but space is unfathomably vast, so it is probably just going to drift forever.
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.

What happens after you put all the jewels in the totem?
It will blast out into space.
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
What happens to objects that fall from space towards earth?
they all fall back into space like gravity.
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 do they use to move space debris from the sun?
shut up stupid people im only calling you stupid cause your all stupid

Can you use debris in a exclamation sentence?
Look at all this 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.
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.
What can be done yo eradicate the existing debris in outer space?
Not a lot. The problem is that there's too much of it to reasonably collect it all, and anything other than that would be likely to just create more, smaller debris instead of actually eliminating it.
