If a rocket (for the sake of the argument Apollo 10 which can fly at 24,846 mph) were to fly at full speed in Earth's atmosphere what affect would Earth's atmosphere have on the speed of the rocket?
Speed of a rocket in Earth's atmosphere.
It'll slow it down because of the friction of the air. Also, the Earth itself rotates at 1,000 mph. So as you are sitting in front of your PC, you don't feel it, but you are already moving at 1000 mph. If the Earth suddenly stops rotating, everything on the surface of the Earth will get pushed away with that speed.If a rocket (for the sake of the argument Apollo 10 which can fly at 24,846 mph) were to fly at full speed in Earth's atmosphere what affect would Earth's atmosphere have on the speed of the rocket?
