What else can I help you with?
Which layer of the atmosphere can rockets orbit?
To have a more or less stable orbit, the rocket will have to orbit OUTSIDE of the atmosphere.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
What level of the atmosphere do satelites orbit?
The basic idea is for satellites to orbit OUTSIDE the atmosphere, to avoid losing energy through friction. In practice, there is still a small amount of air, even at the altitude at which they commonly orbit - typically around 200 km or so.
Which satellite is known for its atmosphere and what planet does it orbit?
Titan orbits Saturn
How are satellites held in orbit around Earth?
the atmosphere of gravity pulls it.
Which layer of the atmosphere can rockets orbit?
To have a more or less stable orbit, the rocket will have to orbit OUTSIDE of the atmosphere.
Does the sun orbit on Earth?
Not by any reasonable definition of the word "orbit", no.
Could a planet be a satellite?
By definition a planet cannot be a satellite. A planet is a body that has cleared most of the debris in its orbit about a star. However, a satellite might have an atmosphere. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has an atmosphere more dense than that of earth.
What orbit is still in the outermost part of earth's atmosphere?
The outermost part of Earth's atmosphere is the exosphere, which extends from about 500 km to 10,000 km above the surface. Satellites in geostationary orbit, located at an altitude of about 35,786 km, are still within Earth's exosphere.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
What is an orbit that is within the outermost part of earth atmosphere?
It is called a low earth orbit
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.
Is it possible to leave the atmosphere and NOT go into orbit?
Yes - orbit means going round so going straight out is not orbit
Why is there no gravity outside your atmosphere?
There certainly is gravity outside the atmosphere. For example, it is gravity that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth, and the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
This layer is the outermost layer of the atmosphere satellites orbit the atmosphere in this layer?
Thermosphere and the exosphere
What is the definition of the two planets?
round and orbit the sun
Where in the atmosphere does the space shuttle go into orbit?
600km
