One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that the artificial satellite?

One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that an artificial satellite typically orbits a celestial body, such as Earth, while a space probe is designed to travel through space to explore other celestial bodies.


Can hot air ballones fly to space?

No, they can't. They can't leave the atmosphere.


Can a house fly fly in space?

No, a house fly would not be able to survive in space because there is no atmosphere to provide it with air to fly. Additionally, the lack of gravity in space would also make it difficult for the fly to maneuver and navigate.


Why can a rocket fly into space?

it can fly because the fire that comes out of the back of the rocket is its thrust.So when the fire comes out the back it causes the rocket to thrust forward.Remember the fire comes out with a lot of force thats why the rocket is able to fly because of the thrust. The body of the rocket is a device that can stay in space and float in there which allows the rocket to stay in space. The fire thrusts the rocket up but only to get out of earths atmosphere because earth has gravity space doesn't. In space the rocket does the rest of the work which is floating in a place without gravity. hope this helped!


When did the first spacecraft fly to space?

The first man made satellite was Sputnik I launched Oct 4 1957. Sputnik 2 was launched Nov 3 1957, and carried a dog as a passenger, but no provision was made for re-entry - so she was the first casualty in space.

What is the difference between an aircraft and a spacecraft?

Aircraft fly through air and spacecraft fly in space.


What is difference between aeronautical and aerospace engineering?

Aeronautical engineering focuses on flying in Earth's atmosphere while aerospace deals with objects outside Earth's atmosphere. aerospace engineering deals with objects inside and outside of earths atmosphere while aeronautical engineering is a more specialized field with aerospace engineering that focuses more on objects inside earths atmosphere. astronautical engineering deals with objects outside earths atmosphere and is another specialized field under aerospace engineering.

Can you ride an airplane to the moon?

No. An airplane is not designed to fly out of the Earth's atmosphere, only a space rocket has the ability to fly to other celestial bodies and space stations.


Why is earth in space yet you fly into space?

the earth is in space but their are layers of atmosphere surrounding us from the fatal environment of space air-go (therefore) we must break free of the atmosphere to get to space. it's a hard concept to understand


How can space crafts fly outside of the earth's atmosphere?

They do not fly through space, they simply float through space. They are able to maneuver using rocket engines which instead of providing lift, simply push them.

No, a house fly would not be able to survive in space because there is no atmosphere to provide it with air to fly. Additionally, the lack of gravity in space would also make it difficult for the fly to maneuver and navigate.


Is there force in space?

No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!
