How does friction affect a meteor?
When a meteor enters the earth's atmosphere, friction with the air generates enormous amounts of heat, which causes the meteor to at least partially burn up.
What sphere do you see meteors?
Meteors generally burn up in the Mesosphere, but depending on the velocity and size of the meteor, they can burn up at almost any level of the atmosphere. We can see meteors because they emit light when they enter the atmosphere as the heated air around them glows from the heat. The reason they get hot and the meteor generally burns up is that when the extremely fast meteor hits the atmosphere, it compresses the air it hits and thus causes the temperature of the air to rise until the air glows from the heat. Also, the incredible friction as the meteor rubs against the atmosphere contributes to its glow and its burning up.
Why is the bulb evacuated?
If they were not evacuated of all outside air, the filament will burn up in seconds because the air Will cause Resistance, thus the filament will burn brighter and brigther tyring to burn off the air until it opens. (blown bulb)...
How meteors burn up?
The general idea is that meteors move through almost empty space, orbiting the Sun, at speeds between about 10 and 70 kilometers per second. This represents an enormous amount of kinetic (movement) energy per unit mass. When the meteor gets into the atmosphere, it is slowed down by friction, and most of the kinetic energy is converted into heat. Part of this stays in the atmosphere, another part heats up the meteor.
Why can't we just burn out waste plastic to get rid of it?
we cant burn are trash because it pollutes the air and if you pollute the air you are harming other people and animals and we may have to live somewhere else
Why does a meteor burn?
Because of the extreme heat produced by the friction between the air and the meteor, which is passing through at tremendous speeds.
Why does a meteor lights up or burn as seen on the night sky?
Because as it moves through the atmosphere the air friction is so incredible that it causes the meteor to heat up enough to 'burn' and glow. Its the same principle as when metal is heated in a furnace.

Do meteors or comets burn in the atmosphere?
Not really - they compress air to the point of incandesce, the heat of which tends to volatilize any solid object (the meteor) causing it.
What dragons do you breed to get a meteor dragon?
You can breed a Meteor Dragon by an air and metal dragon.
Does air effects length of time for a candle to burn?
yes.you need more air,as the candle will burn for longer in a bigger volume of air because the air contains oxygen which is needed for combustion

Why do most meteors not land on earth surface?
MOST meteors are "fleck of dust" size. When they enter the atmosphere, friction with the air heats them up, and they burn completely. In a few days, and 12 August, if you are up late, you can see a vivid example- the Perseid meteor swarm is due to make it's annual visit. Look NE after midnight.
Does plutonium burn air?
Yes, plutonium can burn in air.
