What protects satellites from intense heat of space?

In space there is no heat. Only when a satellite enters the atmosphere is there heat because of the friction and it begins to burn. Spacecraft have tiles on them to shield from the heat. Most satellites burn up in the atmosphere once they are done or become "space junk."


When a space vehicle re-enters the Earth's atmosphere energy is turned into energy?

When a spacecraft re-enters Earth's atmosphere, the kinetic energy from its high speed is converted into heat energy due to air resistance. This process causes the spacecraft to heat up and create a fiery trail as it descends. The heat shield protects the spacecraft from burning up completely during re-entry.


What is Outer space re-entry?

Outer space re-entry refers to the process of a spacecraft returning to Earth's atmosphere after being in space. During re-entry, the spacecraft faces extreme heat and friction due to the high speeds at which it enters the atmosphere, requiring specialized heat shields to protect it. The goal is to safely slow down the spacecraft and bring it back to Earth for a controlled landing.

What vehicle is used in carrying instruments and apparatus outside the earth's atmosphere?

Spacecraft are used to carry instruments and apparatus outside Earth's atmosphere. These spacecraft can be satellites, space probes, or crewed spacecraft like the International Space Station. They are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space and transport equipment to conduct experiments, gather data, or perform missions in space.


What is a launch of a spacecraft?

A spacecraft launch refers to the process of sending a spacecraft into space from Earth. It involves the ignition of the rocket engines to propel the spacecraft out of Earth's atmosphere and into its designated orbit. Launches can be conducted by government space agencies or private companies.


What layer protect us from meteorit impacts?

The atmosphere protects us from meteorite impacts. When a meteorite enters Earth's atmosphere, it burns up due to friction with the air, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface and causing damage.
