thanks for any help
Humans create orbits in space by launching objects, such as satellites or spacecraft, into a specific trajectory and speed that allows them to continuously fall towards the Earth or other celestial bodies without actually crashing into them. This is known as achieving orbital velocity.
Yes, humans can control their own orbits in space by adjusting the speed, direction, and altitude of their spacecraft. This allows them to change the shape and size of their orbit and even move to different orbits around the same or different celestial bodies.
The stability of human-created orbits is affected by several factors, including the mass and velocity of the orbiting object, the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is orbiting, and the presence of other objects in the same orbital path. Changes in any of these factors can cause the orbit to become unstable and potentially lead to a collision or escape from the orbit.
Astronauts maintain their orbits in space by using thrusters on their spacecraft to make small adjustments to their speed and direction. This allows them to counteract any external forces that may disrupt their orbit and keep them in a stable trajectory.
Yes, it is possible for humans to create orbits around any celestial body as long as they have the technology and knowledge to achieve the necessary velocity and trajectory. However, some celestial bodies may be more challenging to orbit due to their size, composition, or gravitational pull.
