A suborbital stay refers to a brief journey into space that reaches the edge of space but does not achieve orbital velocity. This means the spacecraft ascends to a high altitude, typically above 100 kilometers (the Kármán line), allowing passengers to experience a few minutes of weightlessness and see the curvature of the Earth. However, the spacecraft then descends back to Earth without entering a stable orbit. Suborbital flights are often conducted for research, tourism, or testing purposes.

What relationship is there between the outermost suborbital in an atom and its position in the periodic table?

The position in the periodic table can range in size moving from left to right, and it has a wider range of numbers, but in the outermost suborbital, it can only range from 1-8 valence electrons!

What is the difference between orbital and suborbital space flights?

An Orbital space flight simply means that you have accelerated a space craft fast enough so it stays in orbit (cicular path) around the Earth. A suborbital flight means you have reached the limit of space (anything over 100 km high) but not enough speed to completely circle the Earth.


What does the P stand for?

I'm fairly certain you are referring to the P suborbital. This is a suborbital within an electron orbital level, and contains 6 electrons, 3 pairs. I believe its a bar bell shaped orbital, but I could be wrong. You also might be referring to the group of elements on the Periodic Table in families III-VIII. They are there because they all have empty P level suborbitals.
