Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?


"Still, these measures do not solve the problem of what to do about space junk. "

"The more we rely on advanced technology, the more likely it is that we will send additional satellites into space."

"The weight could swing around and basically knock debris out of orbit."

"In our modern world, we have become more and more dependent on satellites to help us with many things."

Answer:

It will decrease over time.  

"The weight could swing around and basically knock debris out of orbit."

Explanation:

All space junk is the result of us launching objects from Earth, and it remains in orbit until it re-enters the atmosphere.They often re-enter the atmosphere after a few years and, for the most part, they'll burn up - so they don't reach the ground.

Space debris (also known as space junk, space pollution,space waste, space trash, or space garbage) is defunct artificial objects in space—principally in Earth orbit—which no longer serve a useful function. These include derelict spacecraft—nonfunctional spacecraft and abandoned launch vehicle stages—mission-related debris, and particularly numerous in Earth orbit, fragmentation debris from the breakup of derelict rocket bodies and spacecraft. In addition to derelict man-made objects left in orbit, other examples of space debris include fragments from their disintegration, erosion and collisions or even paint flecks, solidified liquids expelled from spacecraft, and unburned particles from solid rocket motors. Space debris represents a risk to spacecraft.
