What is the difference between orbital and suborbital space flights?

An Orbital space flight simply means that you have accelerated a space craft fast enough so it stays in orbit (cicular path) around the Earth.
A suborbital flight means you have reached the limit of space (anything over 100 km high) but not enough speed to completely circle the Earth.

What is an orbital jigsaw?
An orbital jigsaw is a jigsaw that as it moves up and down it moves in an elliptical pattern.
What type of electron orbital s p d f is designated by n equals to 2 l equals to 0and m equals to 0?
S orbital
Why do astronauts experience less gravitational force?
They don't. They have just as much gravitational force on them as you and me. The difference is the two initial frames of reference. You and I are being held down to planet. They are "falling" around the planet in an orbital free fall.
What poses the greatest hazard to communications satellites?
orbital debris.
What technology has been used to investigate Saturn?
Ground telescopes and orbital satellite telescopes.
The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?
the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
What is the difference between shell and orbital?
shell and orbit are same
What is the difference between an orbital motor and a conventional motor?
Both
What is the difference between the 2px orbital and the 2py orbital?
The px orbital has a magnetic quantum number value of -1, and the py orbital has a magnetic quantum number value of 0.
What was the first 3 NASA misions?
The first 3 manned NASA missions were part of the Mercury program. The first two flights were suborbital flights (they did not go into orbit) and the astronaunts (Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom) were launched on Redstone rockets. The third flight was an orbital flight, and John Glenn was launched on an Atlas rocket. All three flights carried the astronauts in the Mercury capsule. The flights were May 5 1961, July 21 1961, and Feb 20 1962 respectively.
In what ways have space been explored?
space has been explored by Orbital flights Human flights
How many p electrons are possible in any orbital?
6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on. each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.
What does the P stand for?
I'm fairly certain you are referring to the P suborbital. This is a suborbital within an electron orbital level, and contains 6 electrons, 3 pairs. I believe its a bar bell shaped orbital, but I could be wrong. You also might be referring to the group of elements on the Periodic Table in families III-VIII. They are there because they all have empty P level suborbitals.

What is the difference distance wise between low orbital spaceflight and sub orbital spaceflight?
Sub-orbital space flight reaches space while low orbital spaceflight attain sufficient velocity to go to space.
How can you tell the difference between 2s subshell and 2p subshell?
You can tell the difference between 2s sub-shell and 2p sub-shell by checking their energy levels whereby a 2p orbital has a higher energy level compared to a 2s orbital.
Difference between probes and satellites regarding orbital and escape velocity?
a probe need to travel escape velocity while a satellite travel orbital velocity.
