Difference between Low Earth orbit and Orders of magnitude (length)

Low Earth orbit vs. Orders of magnitude (length)

A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with an altitude of or less, and with an orbital period of between about 84 and 127 minutes. The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.

Similarities between Low Earth orbit and Orders of magnitude (length)

Low Earth orbit and Orders of magnitude (length) have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apsis, Atmosphere of Earth, Earth, Exosphere, Geostationary orbit, Hubble Space Telescope, International Space Station, Orbit, Sun-synchronous orbit.

Apsis

An apsis (ἁψίς; plural apsides, Greek: ἁψῖδες) is an extreme point in the orbit of an object.

Atmosphere of Earth

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth's gravity.

Exosphere

The exosphere (ἔξω éxō "outside, external, beyond", σφαῖρα sphaĩra "sphere") is a thin, atmosphere-like volume surrounding a planet or natural satellite where molecules are gravitationally bound to that body, but where the density is too low for them to behave as a gas by colliding with each other.

Geostationary orbit

A geostationary orbit, often referred to as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit above Earth's equator and following the direction of Earth's rotation.

Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation.

International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Sun-synchronous orbit

A Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO, also called a heliosynchronous orbit) is a nearly polar orbit around a planet, in which the satellite passes over any given point of the planet's surface at the same local mean solar time.

Low Earth orbit and Orders of magnitude (length) Comparison

Low Earth orbit has 55 relations, while Orders of magnitude (length) has 843. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 1.00% = 9 / (55 + 843).
