Everything has a little of its own gravity, but you would have to be very massive to make just a little. Space shuttles have gravity, but it is almost too small to measure or have any effect on anything large. Some large asteroids have enough mass to make a small orbit. If you through a tennis ball on one of them, it might loop back and hit you on your head.

What is the average speed of the spacecraft?
Space shuttles can travel at extremely fast speeds. Typically, space shuttles orbit the Earth at slightly less than 20,000 miles per hour.
Does gravity affect the speed of light?
Gravity affects the fabric of space-time. So both space and time will be distorted.
How does zero gravity affect someone in space?
with no gravity in space you essentially can fly around. you weight a 1/3 of your normal weight on the moon.
How would you turn in space if there is no gravity?
To start off, there is indeed gravity in space. Objects in orbit only seem weightless because they are already in freefall. Gravity is the main forces that affects objects in space and can be used to change a trajectory. You can also change your speed and direction in space by firing rockets.
What keeps objects from floating into space?
gravity?
Why do space shuttles have solid rocket boosters?
to beat gravity of the earth
What is the force that prevents objects on on or close to earth from getting lost in space such as the space station space shuttles or airplanes?
Gravity.
Why would it be inaccurate to describe the shuttle living quarter as capacious?
Because space shuttles have a lot of space and because of the gravity
What are the names of space shuttles being built?
NASA space shuttles
Why do space shuttles land in Houston?
Space Shuttles do not land in Houston
What energy is made from space shuttles?
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
Why does a space shuttle have to travel so fast?
Space shuttles must travel at 11km/s so that they can escape the force of gravity. the force of gravity is approximately 9.81. If you don't travel at a greater speed than the force of gravity, the rocket will not launch.
What are space shuttles?
Space shuttles are plane like vehicles that travel in space, i hope that answered your question
Are the Space Shuttles going to fly again?
It is not expected that the Space Shuttles will fly again.
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
Where does the Canadian Space Agency launch shuttles from?
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
Names of space shuttles first used in 1980?
No space shuttles were used in 1980.
