Which could cause satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in Earth's atmosphere?

Which could cause a satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in Earths atmosphere centripetal force air resistance gravitational force?

Air resistance is the primary force that would cause a satellite to descend low enough to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. As a satellite orbits, it experiences centripetal force that keeps it in orbit, but if it loses altitude due to drag from air resistance, the friction generated at lower altitudes can lead to increased heating and ultimately result in the satellite burning up. Gravitational force also plays a role, but it typically keeps the satellite in orbit rather than causing it to descend.


Which could cause a satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in Earth and acirc and 128 and 153s atmosphere?

A satellite can descend low enough to burn up in Earth's atmosphere due to factors such as increased drag from atmospheric density changes, which can occur during solar activity or atmospheric expansion. Additionally, a gradual loss of altitude can result from orbital decay caused by gravitational perturbations, atmospheric drag over time, or malfunctioning propulsion systems. Finally, intentional deorbit maneuvers for end-of-life disposal can also lead a satellite to re-enter the atmosphere and burn up.


What holds the atmosphere to the earth?

The earths gravity. The more mass a body has, the more gravity, The Earth has enough mass to hold an atmosphere. The Moon, on the other hand, is not massive enough, and so does not have a high enough gravity, which prevents it from holding an atmosphere.


What was the name of the first satellite that was launched by Russia called?

This was called Sputnik 1 (Russian for satellite 1). It went into orbit on 4th October 1957 and lasted for 22 days before its orbit decayed enough for it to re-enter the atmosphere.

What could cause a satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in earth's atmosphere?

Friction.The Earth's atmosphere never really ends, it just gets thinner and thinner until it seamlessly merges into the solar atmosphere. Satellites in low Earth orbit experience enough drag that they can slow down, which results in them dropping nearer to Earth, where they experience even more drag.


Does the hubble telescope interfer with the earths atmosphere?

No. Actually, if there is any interference, it's just the opposite.Just like any other artificial satellite, if the Hubble were to drop low enough to encounterany appreciable atmosphere, it would soon fall out of orbit, re-enter the atmosphere, andburn up because of atmospheric friction. For that reason, it has to be kept high enough toavoid virtually all of the atmosphere.


Where did the gases in the earths atmosphere come from?

Scientist theorize that bacteria with chlorophyll in them slowly but surely began to multiply. And as they did, they photosynthesized enough to create an entire atmosphere. (as you know oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis)


How does the amount of change as you travel up through earths atmosphere?

The air molecules spreds out in space so there is not enough air to breathe for us there

What holds the atmosphere to the earth?

The earths gravity. The more mass a body has, the more gravity, The Earth has enough mass to hold an atmosphere. The Moon, on the other hand, is not massive enough, and so does not have a high enough gravity, which prevents it from holding an atmosphere.


If the moon had an atmosphere what would happened to it?

If the moon "had" or had had in the past an atmosphere, its gravitational force (about one sixth that of earths) would not have been strong enough for it to stop the gases dissipating into space.


If you kick a football hard enough will it never come down?

in order for it to never come down, it would have to leave earths atmosphere. this would be impossible for a human to do because they could not produce enough force for it to do that.


How does water vapor enter the earths atmosphere?

It evaporates and turns into clouds. Once heavy enough, it can turn into rain, snow or some other form of condensation.
