Yes. Earth's gravity is still very present at 36,000 km. This is what keeps geosynchronous satellites in orbit. Earth is the dominant gravitational body much farther out than that, to a distance of about 1.5 million km. Beyond that distance there is still gravity, but the sun, not Earth, dominates.

How long would it take to travel from earth to Venus at a rate of 36000 kilometers per second?

This depends completely on how close Venus is to the Earth as they have different orbital periods and so the distance between varies greatly. Currently Venus is approximately 2.421 x 108 km from Earth as of 06 November 2009. At 36000 kms-1 it would taken around 1 hour 52 minutes to travel this distance.


How far do you travel for a one hour time change?

We travel about 1670.45 kms per hour relative to the space. Earth takes full circle in 24 hrs. So total distance covered in 24 hrs by any body present on the surface of the earth is equal to the circumference of the earth, which is 2*pi*r where "r" the radius of earth is 6378.1 kms.


What is the escape velocity from the surface of Mars?

The escape velocity from the surface of Mars is about 5.0 km/s (3.1 miles/s). This means that a spacecraft would need to reach this speed to break free from Mars' gravity and enter into space.


If you fall 12 756.2 kilometers with gravity how fast would you be going after the fall?

You don't fall when you are at a height of 12756.2 kms above the sea level because you are in space. Depending on the meagre gravity exerted by earth, you will descend slowly. May be when you cross earth's orbit and enter the atmospheric layer, your speed might increase but it will not be vertical fall.


How high does a rocket have to go above Earth's surface until its weight is half what it would be on Earth?

The mass of an object at any point will remain the same( unless its velocity approaches that of light, of course )So, for the weight to reduce to half its value, the acceleration due to gravity has to reduce to half its value on earth. now, the relation between acceleration due to gravity and distance from the center of the earth is given by g = 1/R2 where R is the radius of the earth which is 6400 kms (approx) let 'h' be the height at which the weight of the rocket will be half its initial value. so, gh / g = R2 / (R+h)2 but gh = g/ 2 substituting it in the above expression yields h=2649.6 kms (approx) so, at this height, the weight of the rocket will be half its initial weight.

What altitude is the pressure in earth's atmosphere equal to that of mars?

The pressure in Earth's atmosphere is roughly equal to that of Mars at an altitude of about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) above sea level. This means that if you were at this altitude on Earth, you would experience a similar atmospheric pressure to that on the surface of Mars.
