How does a space shuttle cause friction?
A space shuttle still has to leave the atmosphere, we aren't building them in space. While leaving the atmosphere a space shuttle causes a lot of friction as it rubs against the air on the way up.
What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia
How much fuel is consumed by the space shuttle for it to leave the atmosphere?
A single shuttle usually uses over a million pounds of solid propellant. This is the propellant that can be used to exit the atmosphere, while the 500,000 gallons of liquid fuel are used outside of the atmosphere.
Why does The Space Shuttle Heat up when it is Travelling through the Earth's Atmosphere?
Because of the enormous amount of friction between Earth's atmosphere and the Space Shuttle.
What was the 2nd space shuttle in space?
Second space shuttle in space was Challenger, but second space shuttle ever was Enterprise, what was made for testing in atmosphere.

Where would you find a space shuttle in the atmosphere?
I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.
What speed does a space shuttle reach before leaving the earth's atmosphere?
The space shuttle reaches 17,850 mph before leaving earth's atmosphere.

Why does the space shuttle have high speed in the atmosphere?
The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.
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.
What was the need for a space shuttle?
To break the atmosphere and go into space easily.
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.
What is the name of the space shuttle that started on fire while entering the earth?
Columbia heated up and broke apart while entering the atmosphere.
