g(H)/g=[R/(R+H)]^2.delta_simon said:About what is the value of the acceleration due to (not of) gravity in low Earth orbit? <9,8m/s² ?
The value of acceleration of gravity in low Earth orbit is approximately 9.8 m/s². This is the same value as the acceleration of gravity at the Earth's surface.
No, the acceleration of gravity does not change in low Earth orbit. It remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s².
The acceleration of gravity affects objects in low Earth orbit by keeping them in orbit around the Earth. This force of gravity is what allows objects to constantly fall towards the Earth without actually hitting the surface.
The acceleration of gravity in low Earth orbit is typically measured using specialized instruments on satellites or spacecraft. These instruments can detect the force of gravity acting on the object and calculate the acceleration based on its mass.
While the acceleration of gravity remains constant in low Earth orbit, it can vary slightly at different altitudes due to variations in the Earth's gravitational field. However, these variations are typically very small and do not significantly affect objects in orbit.
