Question

A space shuttle can orbit the earth at 330 mi above sea level. The average commercial airplane can fly at 5.7 mi above sea level. What is the distance between the two aircraft?

Answer 1

324.3mi

Explanation:

Given Space Shuttle height above ground = 330mi

Airplane height above ground = 5.7mi

Difference between two aircrafts = Space Shuttle height - airplane height above ground

= 330 - 5.7

= 324.3mi
