Vehicles travel faster in space because there is no friction or air resistance to slow them down, allowing them to reach higher speeds. In Earth's atmosphere, air resistance creates drag, which hinders the vehicle's speed. Additionally, the absence of gravity in space allows vehicles to maintain their velocity without needing propulsion to counteract gravitational forces.

Would light travel faster through space or wind?
It would travel faster through space since there are no particles to get in its way. The wind is an opposing force so it is harder to move faster. The difference between the two would be negligble but specifically, light moves faster through space.
Do we can travel faster or near to the speed of sound in space?
Any vehicle (such as a rocket) MUST exceed the 'speed-of-sound' in order to escape the atmosphere (actually much, much faster). The 'speed-of-sound' varies with the thickness of the medium in which it is travelling. At low altitudes (close to sea-level), sound can travel up to 880mph because the air has high density. At high altitude, where the air is 'thinner', sound travels only around 650mph. The escape velocity needed to completely escape the earth's gavitational "well" is around 25,000mph. However, if you only want to reach "space" (orbit the earth), the speed necessary is closer to 6,500mph (7 to 10 times the 'speed-of-sound'). Since we have to go faster than sound just to reach "space", obviously we can (and do) go faster while IN space. The Earth is travelling at about 35,000mph through "space", which means we are all travelling over 40 times faster than sound right now.
Why can you travel faster in space than on land or water?
In space, there is minimal air resistance and no friction to slow down objects, allowing them to travel faster than on land or water where there are more obstacles, such as air particles and surface friction, that impede movement. Additionally, space objects can be propelled by the vacuum of space and gravitational forces, enabling faster speeds.
Does sound travel faster in outer space or in air?
sound travels faster through a solid because the particles are right next to each other and so it is faster to vibrate whereas air particles are further apart and take longer to travel. So yes it would travel through the ground faster than air.
How long does it take to get to Earth from outer space?
The time it takes to travel from outer space to Earth depends on the distance and speed of the spacecraft. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to return to Earth from outer space.
What are space vehicles?
Space vehicles are ones that travel in outer space. These vehicles help record scientific data and send it to Earth.
Where are radio waves faster-earth or space?
Radio waves travel with the highest speed in vacuum, and slightly slower in air. So they move slightly faster in space than on earth.
Why are lunar roving vehicles used in space?
The lunar buggies were solar powered vehicles used on the moon, it was mainly to travel faster and explore a larger area of the moon.
How do the martians arrive on Earth?
Martians arrive on Earth using advanced spacecraft that can travel through space. They could use technologies like teleportation, wormholes, or faster-than-light travel to reach our planet from their own.
Is the spacecraft the same as a space ship?
Yes, a spacecraft and a spaceship refer to the same thing: a vehicle designed for travel in outer space. Both terms are often used interchangeably to describe vehicles used for space exploration or travel beyond Earth's atmosphere.
How can NASA make space travel faster?
because it does
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Sound can travel faster through space because space is a vacuum where there are no particles to slow down the transmission of sound waves. In a room at room temperature, sound travels through the molecules of the medium, such as air, which can slow down its speed.
What do space probes travel away from?
The Earth.
Why is it important to us on Earth that light can travel through space?
It is because light can travel through space that Earth can get sunlight. Without sunlight life on Earth could not exist.
Where did spaceship Columbia travel to?
Columbia was a Space Shuttle. Space Shuttles travel to an orbit around the Earth and return.
Can you travel in space?
It is possible to travel in space. The International Space Station currently orbits 250 miles above Earth and there are astronauts living there.
How do you travel from earth to the planet Saturn?
In. A space ship
