Which part of a space shuttle orbits the Earth?

The entire space shuttle orbits the Earth, not just a specific part. The shuttle moves around the Earth in a controlled manner, following a specific trajectory set by its thrusters and guidance systems.


What is the motion of space shuttle?

The space shuttle moves by using its engines to lift off from Earth, then travels through space by following a predetermined flight path. In orbit, the shuttle moves at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour in order to maintain its trajectory around the Earth. During reentry, the shuttle uses its heat shield to protect itself from the intense heat generated by atmospheric friction.


How fast does a space shuttle move?

A space shuttle moves through space at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,163 kilometers per hour) in low Earth orbit. This high velocity is necessary to stay in orbit and counteract the pull of Earth's gravity.


What happens during a lunar eclipse A earth's shadow falls to the moon B The moon's shadow falls on earth C Earth moves out of the plane of the moon-sun orbit DThe moon moves out of the plane of t?

The answer is A


How does the space shuttle move in space?

Most of the movement, the orbiting of the shuttle around Earth, comes from the launch which gets the shuttle up to over 17,000 miles per hour. While in orbit, astronauts use the the shuttle's reaction control system to make adjustments to the shuttles orbit. The main engines are used again at the end of the mission to slow the shuttle down allowing the Earth's gravity to the rest of the work to bring the shuttle and astronauts back to the ground.
