Pretty amazing how the cloud propagates. It doesn't stay stationary - but ends up encircling the entire planet as 1 massively stretched out cloud. This example was from the Chinese ASAT test and the debris cloud created.

At the end there you get to see just how much debris is orbiting up there.

Remember though
Its not to scale.


Hmmm think enough of it would contribute to the greenhouse effect?

Yeah but there's still alot of debris in orbit, the Air Force even has a division who's job it is to track all the debris thats in orbit.
