How do astronauts travel in space and escape earths atmosphere?
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
How fast does a space shuttle travel in earths atmosphere?
A space shuttle reentering Earth's atmosphere travels at speeds around 17,500 miles per hour. This high speed generates intense heat due to friction with the air, causing the iconic glowing plasma trail behind the shuttle.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle travel in?
The space shuttle travels in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is the layer located above the mesosphere. This layer is where temperatures can reach very high levels due to its proximity to space.
How fast does a space shuttle need to be traveling when it leaves the earths atmosphere?
A space shuttle needs to reach a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, known as orbital velocity, to successfully leave the Earth's atmosphere and enter space. This speed allows the shuttle to counteract the pull of Earth's gravity and achieve a stable orbit around the planet.
If the moon is 450000 miles from earth and NASA launches a shuttle into earths atmosphere which is 100 miles long and the shuttle travels 12000 miles an hour how long will the shuttle be in space?
First, the Moon is about 240,000 miles from Earth. Second, the Shuttle couldn't go there on a bet. If you are talking about an average speed of 12,000 miles an hour, then obviously the answer is 20 hours to go 240,000.
How high in the earths atmosphere does a space shuttle travel?
230 miles out into space

What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?
We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.

What is the difference between airplane and spaceshuttle?
Airplanes are used for transportation within the earths atmosphere where as spaceships are for travel outside and eventually back into the earths atmosphere
How does the temperature changes as you travel through earths atmosphere?
It changes to a next temperture
What are the roles of the space shuttles and space stations in the space program?
The ISS and shuttle programs were designed as a stepping stone to interplanetary travel. The programs test the ability of humans to endure long periods of exposure to living in space and conduct experiments on long term affects of space travel. Space travel to other planets would be best initiated outside the earths atmosphere and the Space Shuttle, as the name implies is the vehicle designed to transcend earth's atmosphere with equipment, supplies and astronauts.

How fast does a space shuttle travel in 500 seconds?
To escape the Earths gravity the shuttle goes 17,500 miles an hour. You can use that value to figure out how far it goes in 500 seconds.
