What is the plane of the earths orbit?
FLAT
How can the periodic change in the shape of earths orbit cause a change in climate?
There is no 'periodic' change in the earths orbit. The orbit is elliptical and over time (a great many years) becomes less so.
Give at least one characteristic of each of the four main layers of earths atmosphere?
The four main layers of the atmosphere are the exosphere, where satellites orbit; the thermosphere, where temperatures increase; the mesosphere, where meteors are slowed down; and the troposphere, where life thrives.
Glacial periods are caused by?
progressive cooling of earths surface. earths heat balance could change as orbit alters.solar radiation fluctuations, periodic changes in earth tilt and orbit. loss of heat from earths surface through reduction of carbon dioxide content of atmosphere. volcanic eruptions, short term cooling of globe could increase effect if lots erupted over longer periods of time. volcanoes and climate, the little ice age 1645-1715.
What layer of atmosphere has the highest temperature?
The thermosphere is the "hottest" layer of the Earth's atmosphere. As the outermost layer with substantial numbers of molecules, it receives the most direct radiation from the Sun. However, despite the high molecular temperatures measured in this layer (as high as 2500°C or 4530°F), the matter is tenuous compared to the lower atmosphere. An object within the thermosphere would absorb very little total heat energy. Almost all satellites, and the International Space Station, orbit within the thermosphere. The layer periodically varies in thickness, stretching from about 80 kilometers in altitude to between 250 and 500 kilometers. The thermosphere.
What is an orbit that is within the outermost part of earth atmosphere?
It is called a low earth orbit
What orbit is still in the outermost part of earth's atmosphere?
A low Earth orbit is an orbit still in the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere. This kind of orbit occurs a few hundred kilometers into the atmosphere.
What planets orbit is farthest from earths?
Neptune is the outermost planet, and is farthest from Earth's orbit.
This layer is the outermost layer of the atmosphere satellites orbit the atmosphere in this layer?
Thermosphere and the exosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is satellites located?
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
What is the hubble telescope doing?
it is Floating around in an Orbit outside of Earths atmosphere taking Photos!
What causes meteors to enter earths atmosphere?
Gravity. And the meteor is on a path that intersects the orbit of the Earth.
How do meteors orbit the sun?
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are to be found/seen in the Earth's atmosphere burning up. Before they enter the Earths atmosphere they are called meteoroids and if they land on Earth they are called meteorites.
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
What is Something you can not keep up with?
Earths Orbit? Earths Orbit?
What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?
i think you mean atmosphere they normally go about 200,000 miles an hour when leaving earths atmosphere
Is earths orbit around the sun unusual?
Earths orbit around the sun is not unusual.
