The speed you need to go depends on the orbit you are trying to achieve. For low-Earth orbits (LEO) the satellite must be going about 18,000 miles per hour, but the higher the orbit, the slower you need to go.

What are the planets that orbit the sun from order?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune


How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?

The time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is known as its orbital period. The order of planets from shortest to longest orbital period is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune has the longest orbital period of about 165 Earth years.


What speed do rockets break earths gravitational pull?

Enough to support their own weight, plus a little more for motion. It is possible, in theory, to imagine a rocket moving away from the Earth at a slow walking pace. In real life you don't do that, you get away from Earth's pull as quickly as you can manage to do so.


Where must an organism be located in order to orbit the earth?

An organism must be in outer space, typically above the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 km, to orbit the Earth. This is where the conditions are right for an object to remain in orbit due to the balance between its speed and gravitational pull.


Is it easier to examine Neptune with a telescope from Earth or with an orbiter?

The use of a telescope from orbit is going to be more clear. It is not very easy to do so, though. The orbit eliminates atmospheric interference. However, you have to get the telescope into orbit in order to use it. And connect to it from your remote location.

What is the speed of a rocket on takeoff from earth?

The speed of a rocket on takeoff from Earth varies depending on the rocket design and mission requirements. Typically, rockets reach speeds of around 17,500 mph (28,000 km/h) in order to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and enter orbit.


Where does the rocket go when it is in space?

Like any other satellite, including the Moon, it stays up by centripetal force. Like a weight being whirled around your head on a string it would fly off in straight line if the force holding it in were to disappear. With the weight, this force is the tug of the string. With the space station it's gravity. The speed of the space station is just sufficient to keep it from falling to Earth, but also not so great that it would fly off into space. If the speed of the space station were to drop, it would fall to Earth.


What is speed of rocket in one second?

This all depends on orbital altitude. In order to maintain orbit around the Earth a rocket needs to be traveling at least 12 km/s.

What must a rocket overcome in order to reach orbit?

If you want something to orbit the earth, then you have to throw it at superhuman speed. Actually, on roller coasters, you sometimes feel like you are floating out of your seat. If it wasn't for your seatbelt, you could've orbited the earth!

How fast is the orbit moving around the earth?

The 'orbit' is the term we use to refer to the path that a body follows under the influence of its gravitational interaction with another body. The earth moves in its 'orbit' around the sun, always staying roughly 93 million miles distant from the sun. The earth makes one complete trip in its orbit around the sun in 1 year. In order to do that, the earth's speed in its orbit around the sun is almost 67,000 miles per hour ! At the same time, from the vantage point of an observer on the earth, the moon moves in its 'orbit' around the earth, always staying roughly 1/4 of a million miles from the earth. The moon makes one complete trip in its orbit around the earth in a little less than 1 month. In order to do that, the moon's speed in its orbit around the earth is about 2,300 miles per hour.


Do satellities orbit Earth in the exosphere?

No. If they did, air resistance would quickly slow them down and they would fall out of orbit. In order to be in a stable orbit, the satellites must be out of the atmosphere completely.


What are natural and artificial satellites?

Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.


Why moon tiny?

In order for the moon to have been captured by the earth, it has to be smaller than the earth. If it were bigger, it would have pulled the earth into its orbit, making the earth the moon.
