sad
where space begins is arbitrary
what is the velocity of the rockets?
Depends on altitude
so none of you know
wow sad
relevance?
how big does a rock have to be to be considered a boulder?
wow you trolls are lame, lmao
okay, immah clue you children in
sit down in a circle
behave you
how big a rock has to be to be called a boulder is arbitrary
At 400 kilometres altitude, the ISS has a velocity of about 7,5 km/s
space starts at 62 miles
an rockets travel at 20,000kms
thats an arbitrary choice
ttfn, have fun with each other 🙂
there is no definitive change that tells you when an altitude should be called space
its a continious change
so where space begins is arbitrary
how big a rock has to be to be a boulder is arbitrary
62 miles is an arbitrary choice

"its arbitray therefore it dosnt exist"
<:lul:484994724118134784>
our inability to define what point something begins dosnt mean it dosnt exist or its nonsense
the deffinition of a meter is arbitrary
the deffinition of a second is arbitrary
the deffinition of a pound is arbirary
arbitrary dosnt mean vague or subjective
at what point does a swamp become a desert
it certainly doesn't
But at least use arbitrary measurements that you can easily work with and is easily converted, unlike the imperial system
space is just a different type of environment like swamp vs desert how dry and hot does a desert have to be to be called a desert
Deserts generally receive less than 250 mm (10 in) of precipitation each year. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert
as for temperature, it doesn't really matter
Antartica is a desert just like the Sahara, it's just that one of them is extremely hot and dry while the other is cold and dry
they have to draw a line somewhere
so yes, that 250mm is arbitrary but it's still where they draw that line
as for those other definitions, yes, they are arbitrary. However, they work and are the best we have. You can't really have a definition there that isn't arbitrary.
