What is the difference in atmospheric flight and space flight?

Answer 1

When we fly on earth or on other planets, we call this atmospheric flight. When we fly without the forces of a planet pulling on the spacecraft, which only occurs in space, hence we call it space flight. The reason these are differentiated is because of whether or not there are air molecules are present. With air molecules (atmospheric flight) Bernoulli's Principle applies, which explains air flow, and in the space flight it does not apply.

Answer 2

Atmospheric flight occurs within Earth's atmosphere, where vehicles rely on air to generate lift and propulsion. Space flight, on the other hand, takes place beyond Earth's atmosphere, where vehicles operate in the vacuum of space using rockets for propulsion. The primary difference lies in the environmental conditions and propulsion methods used in each type of flight.
