The space shuttle orbits at 248 km per hour above the earth how often do the astronauts see the sunrise in minutes
mass of the earth 5.97 times 10 to the 24th
radius of the earth 6800km
g = 6.67times 10 to the negative 11 m cubed kg to the negative 1 s to the negative 2

98.13 minutes

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius of the earth =  6800km.

Hence, Total radius of satellite orbit =  7048 km (6800+248) or 7048000m.

orbital period can be determine as

where,

r  = orbital radius,

m =  mass of earth

and Ge =  gravitational constant.

putting all value in above equation

  = 5888 sec

  = 98.13 minutes

heat from the core of the earth causes convection currents to occur in the mantle. these currents slowly move the crust around.
