In order to protect our delicate human body from the destructive effects of
gamma rays, our tissues must be shielded from the gamma rays, by some kind
of material that absorbs them.

The Earth's atmosphere is a better gamma ray shield than a spacecraft is.
At least it's a better shield than any spacecraft that could be built without
a ridiculous weight, requiring a ridiculous and completely impractical amount
of fuel and money to propel it to anywhere.

Why do you not feel weightless if flying in a large airplane at a high altitute but if you were in an orbiting spacecraft you would constantly feel weightless?

In an airplane, you are still affected by Earth's gravity as the plane is flying against the pull of gravity, creating lift and keeping you pressed down towards the floor. In an orbiting spacecraft, you are in free fall around Earth, so you and the spacecraft are falling towards Earth at the same rate hence you experience weightlessness.


Why cosmo rays enter in earth through mars?

Cosmic rays can enter Earth through Mars because Mars has a thinner atmosphere than Earth, allowing cosmic rays to penetrate more easily. The lack of a strong magnetic field on Mars also means there is less protection against cosmic rays compared to Earth. This makes Mars a potential gateway for cosmic rays to reach Earth.


Can you stop cosmic ray shower?

No, it is not possible to stop cosmic ray showers. They are high-energy particles from outer space that constantly bombard Earth's atmosphere. However, Earth's atmosphere acts as a shield, absorbing and deflecting most of the cosmic rays before they reach the surface.


Is it true that cosmic ray will appear today?

Cosmic rays are continuously present in space - regardless of what day (or year) it is. Luckily, we are protected from cosmic rays on the surface of the Earth by the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. A small amount of comic rays can still reach the Earth's surface - particularly at higher altitudes.


How long does it takes you go out of earth?

It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to the moon. The exact time can vary depending on the speed and trajectory of the spacecraft.

What are three ways people can see the earth from above?

You can see the earth from above in flying vehicles such as aircraft or spacecraft. We can also observe the earth remotely by using satellite imagery.

If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.


Can you fly while you are in a space shuttle in space?

You may have seen photos or videos of astronauts who appear to be floating through the air while in space. They aren't flying, nor are they really floating, they are falling. Any orbiting spacecraft (such as the space shuttle or international space station) is actually falling around the Earth in a circular pattern. They have achieved enough speed (over 17,000 mph) to continue moving around the Earth without the Earth's gravity pulling the spacecraft down. Astronauts aboard those spacecraft are moving inside the spacecraft and falling along with them at the same speed giving the appearance that they flying or floating inside.


What do you call a spacecraft that is controlled from earth?

A spacecraft that is controlled from Earth is typically referred to as a teleoperated spacecraft. This means that it is being controlled by operators on Earth rather than operating autonomously.
