What else can I help you with?
Where to meteors happen?
Meteors are seen in the sky when huge space junk enter the atmosphere and burn up.
Is burning of meteor in space due to friction?
Meteors do not burn in space. They burn when they dive throughEarth's atmosphere, because of friction with it.
Are meteors extinct?
No, meteors are not extinct. Meteors are commonly seen in the Earth's atmosphere as shooting stars when they burn up upon entry. They are remnants of debris from space that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
Do the meteors burn up in the mesosphere?
Meteors burn up in the Mesosphere because of friction between the meteors and the molecules located here. The mesosphere is the coldest part of the Earth's atmosphere.
What layer of the earth has shooting stars and meteorites?
A meteorite is an object from space that has hit the surface of earth. Therefore you will find them at the bottom of the troposphere. However, you were probably refering to meteors. Most meteors are visible in the lower themosphere or upper troposphere.
Why don't meteors boil in space?
It is not hot enough in open space for that to happen. It is only when the come in contact with warmer areas, such as atmopheres of planets or stars, that they burn up.
What makes meteors visable in space?
Meteors become visible in space when they enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air particles. This process creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. Without the atmosphere, meteors would not be visible from space.
How do meteors disappear?
Meteors do not just disappear. Meteors either land somewhere on Earth out of site or they just burn up in the atmosphere.
What layer in the atmosphere do meteors come from?
Meteors originate in the mesosphere, which is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. This layer is where most meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere due to the friction with the air molecules.
The moon has no what to make meteors burn up?
Atmosphere.
Does a meteor come from deep inside earth?
No, meteors do not come from deep inside the Earth. Meteors are space rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating streaks of light in the sky. Some meteors that survive and land on Earth's surface are known as meteorites.
Does the atmosphere protect us from meteors?
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
