Orbital velocity is about 27,358 KPH or 17,000 MPH. If space junk is going less than that fast it will fall back to Earth. If the junk was part of an interplanetary mission it is going away from Earth at more 40,233 KPH or 25,000 MPH.
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
Space junk travels as fast as all material that orbits the Earth or at about 17,500 miles per hour. This is fast enough to do damage to anything the junk encounters in orbit.
fly to space and back
A Space Shuttle lands at 343 to 364 kmph.
"Space Junk" gets into space because of us leaving materials behind when we visit space.
1,000,0000 miles an hour
Because if its big and flies down to earth at a super fast speed it can cause bad damage
No, Saturn is a planet in our solar system, not space junk. It is known for its distinctive ring system and collection of moons. Space junk refers to man-made debris in orbit around Earth.
Space junk is usually the result of human-made objects that are no longer operational or have been discarded in space. This includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, fragments from collisions, and debris from missions. Over time, these objects can collide with each other, creating more debris and increasing the amount of space junk in orbit.
Space junk and asteroids can potentially interact if they happen to collide in space. However, the likelihood of such an interaction is relatively low due to the vastness of space. Both space junk and asteroids follow their own trajectories and orbits, so collisions are rare but not impossible.
Because satellites are blown up, forming debris, which is called space junk
