what happens, when you you stop in space, i know we must travel at a high rate of speed to leave our planet,?

Answer 1

If you're near a planet, then the same thing that would happen if you held a rock still and dropped it - it would fall towards the planet or the Sun.

Answer 2

If you mean to stop with respect to the stars, then

a) If you are close enough to the Earth, you will fall to it. You will be accelerated to the Earth. Entering the atmosphere will mean to be burnt.
b) If you are very distant from Earth and other planets or moons, you will fall to the Sun. When close to it, you will burn again.

So I do not recommed such kind of wanderings.

And yes, to escape from our planet you need a speed of about 11 kilometers/second at Earth surface level, supposing you are leaving the Earth as a canyon ball. If you have rockets, then it is a question of control them.

Answer 3

To be completely 'still' in near-earth space, or anywhere else in the solar system, you have to find a Lagrange point, the areas around planets where the gravity between the planet, its companion bodies (moons) and the sun is perfectly 'balanced' or cancelled out. Otherwise there is always something 'pulling' at you and acceleration is required.

Answer 4

Stop means nothing in space. If you are within the gravitational field of anything then you will get pulled towards it.

If you are talking about the shuttle, then slowing down will lower the orbit height. This is how the shuttle comes home. When it is low enough then the atmosphere will carry on doing the braking until the shuttle lands.

Answer 5

Since everything in the universe is moving relative to everything else, to "stop" would be an impossibility.
If you mean stopping your motion relative to the Earth (or any other nearby gravitaional body), then such an act would result in being drawn to that body, unless other forces intervene.

Answer 6

Well you keep moving 'cause nothing in the universe is still. They are all moving and we along with them.
Even here on the earth, we may stand still, that is in relation to other objects, but we are moving 'cause the earth is moving all the time.

Answer 7

The short answer is that Earth's gravity will pull you toward the Earth, or if you are far out in space, closer to the Moon or Mars or whatever, the gravity of the Moon or Mars would pull you in that direction.

But more generally, you can't really be stopped in space, because it isn't like the ground at all. On the ground, you are stopped if you are not moving over the ground. In the air you are stopped if you are not moving over the ground below you, but in that case it isn't quite as simple as on the ground, because you might be moving through the air. Is an airplane flying 100 MPH against a 100 MPH wind stopped? Yes and no. It has 100 MPH air speed but zero ground speed. Now in space it is even more confusing. If you are a geosynchronous satellite, you are stopped over a single place on the Earth's equator, many thousands of miles below you. But you are still orbiting the Earth at thousands of miles per hour. It is just that it takes you 24 hours to complete one orbit which happens to be how long the Earth takes to rotate once on its axis, so that people on the ground always see you in the same part of the sky and you always see the exact same spot on the ground as being directly below you. The Sun and stars rise and set past you but those on the ground just see you hovering there in one place. OK, so you do stop dead in space, so that the Earth turns under you and people on the ground see you rise and set just like the Sun and stars. Of course if you did that, you would fall, but suppose you have antigravity or whatever and can just do it. Now if you are stationary at the same distance and direction from Earth, then you are orbiting the Sun along with the Earth, right? And Earth orbits the Sun at 66,000 MPH. Suppose you stop dead in space as measured by the Sun. The Earth speeds away at 66,000 MPH leaving you far behind, but you don't start falling into the Sun because of your antigravity device. Are you stopped in space now? What about the fact that the Sun is orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy at about a million MPH? And the Milky Way is speeding toward the Andromeda Galaxy, but away from many other galaxies. So the very concept of stopped in space has no real meaning. Everything is relative. There is no firm ground that everyone considers stationary. It is like a swarm of bees with no air or ground anywhere. Which bee is hovering stationary? None really, they are all just moving as seen by all the others. So in space all the planets and asteroids and even stars are moving at different speeds in different directions as seen from each other, and no one of them can be said to be stopped. They may look like they are not moving when you see them in the sky at night, but that is an illusion caused by their extreme distance, millions of miles away or even trillions of miles! Even a thing moving 50,000 MPH appears to be standing still when seen from so far away! The planets, which are "only" millions of miles away, can be seen to move if you carefully measure their position with a telescope on two different nights. And even the stars trillions of miles away can be seen to move if you carefully measure their position with a telescope in two different years. Probably you would just refer your motion to the nearest large mass. In Earth orbit, that would be Earth. Half way to Mars, it would be the Sun. In mars orbit it would be Mars. That is what NASA does. They compute speed differently depending on where the space craft is. It leaves Earth at 30,000 MPH or whatever, as measured from Earth. It cruises through space at 50,000 MPH or whatever as measured from the Sun. It arrives at Mars at 20,000 MPH or whatever as measured against Mars.

Answer 8

i think of it particularly is by the fact Einstein has on no account been on the apped of sunshine so he does not comprehend so hence once you return and forth at easy velocity issues don't get/look greater advantageous i'm hoping that i'm top ü

Answer 9

If you came to a stop in outer space nothing would happen. You'd float around your capsule just like they do now. (You just wouldn't get anywhere.)

Answer 10

if you did not stop far than the moon
you will still be pull back by the earth gravity
the fall back to earth may take decades
