yes, as when they come into the earth spulphirical gravitationally crust it comes through our atmosphere's, and reducing the speed even sending it off course, but it still has a large impact due to the velocity and heat extracted at impact creating allot of damage depending on the shape and size.

Why do things in space travel so fast?

Because there is no air - which would normally create friction and slow the object down. It's the friction of the amtosphere, combined with asteroids speed which causes them to glow as they come close to the Earth.


Why does the moon stay in orbit with the earth?

Because there is nothing to slow it down and if there is nothing to slow it down, it can not be deorbited.


What is something crazy about CFC?

The CFC that emitted in the past suddenly disappeared. If the CFC does'nt disappear, it might go to the mantle and reach the core. It may slow down the earth's rotation. If the earth's rotation keeps on slowing down, it'll stop spinning.


Do asteroids have constant speed?

Asteroids have a constant speed in a vacuum if there isnt anything else affecting it such as gravity or by colliding with other things. If it was to be in the earths atmosphere then the air would cause a resistance and slow it down :) hope this helps


Would feather and a nail reach the ground at the same time?

On Earth, no. Air resistance would slow the feather way down. However, dropped on somewhere without an atmosphere (like the moon), they would reach the ground at the same time.


How do clouds slow the rate of the earth's heating?

clouds act like insulators for Earth. they slow down the process of the sun's heat (and uv) rays reaching Earth .


What will happen to the earth year if revolution slow down?

What will happen if earth rotated more slowly?

Time will slow down.


Why does earth rotate more faster than moon?

Earth has more mass, and therefore takes longer than the Moon to slow down in its rotation. But eventually, Earth, too, will slow down until it always shows the Moon the same side.


What would happen if Earth's convection currents in Earth's mantle slowed down.?

If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.


Do seismic waves speed up or slow down as they travel downward and reach the Moho?

Speed up


Can you slow down a relationship that is moving too fast?

Sometimes you can. Asking your partner to slow down, or telling your partner that you need to slow down sometimes works. If the other person is unwilling to slow down, however, then you reach a point where you either need to go fast, or end the relationship. If the other person won't listen to you or talk about it, then getting out is probably a good option.
