can u see the great wall of china from space?

Question

see on google earth. you can not. I dont believe it.i have heard so many people say this. im disspelling the myth now!
see for your self!

Answer 1

you indeed can't
The wall is only a few meters wide
how could something that small(irrispective of its length) be viewable from a few 1000 miles up

Answer 2

it's true and not true at the same time! Astronauts have said that it can be seen from a LOW orbit - which is technically space - but many other things can be seen as well, like roads, large buildings, contrails of jets, and even boats in the ocean. To be in an orbit as high as the space station only the difference between cities and countryside can be seen. Even farther on the moon not much can be seen at all, just the difference between land and water.

Answer 3

No you can't. It is an urban legend. If you think about how wide the wall is wich is thinner than most interstate highways and shorter. Both of which can not be seen from space, it seems kind of obvious

Answer 4

I had read somewhere that its the only man made structure you can see on earth from the moon,i dont know how far is space to you.

Answer 5

That is a myth.

That was say to boast the morale and ego of the China National.

The only thing we can truly see, the blue and brown patchwork of our world. Ins't that sweet .

Answer 6

No - according to nasa astronaults the have been in orbit that is a myth. No man made structures can be seen in space.

Answer 7

I heard it was only a myth. But in real life I've been there before and it is a great archtecture.

Answer 8

but I have read we can see from space only the china wall.

Answer 9

im not sure but i know you can see space from the great wall of china..
lol


thanks

Answer 10

There are those that say you can but not with the naked eye and there are just as many that say you can't.
