Kessler Syndrome is a theoretical scenario that could occur in Earth's low orbit if there are too many satellites and debris colliding with each other. The aftermath would be catastrophic for space exploration, as a chain reaction of collisions would create even more debris and make it nearly impossible for spacecrafts to safely travel through orbit.

How far do you need to drop a squirrel to kill it? It is estimated that a squirrel has to fall over 4.79 miles to die, because that drop would take so long that the squirrel would suffocate to death. But if we assume that the squirrel has infinite atmosphere to fall through, it would die in 480 miles due to lack of water.

The Coriolis effect describes the difference in speeds of an object rotating on the outside of a circle compared to another object.
