What factors are needed for cloud formation?
You need water vapor, kinetic energy, and energy surrounding inside the atmosphere.
What energy transformation is responsible for the fiery reentry of the space shuttle into earth's atmosphere?
Kinetic energy is being transformed into heat energy :)
What kind of environment is space shuttle reentry?
When in the orbit, space shuttles kinetic energy is in large amounts. The energy must the disposed for a safe landing. Reentry space shuttles must show blunt shapes for the heat energy to be released into the atmosphere.
What type of energy is stored up?
ATP
What is the part of the atmosphere called that energy from the sun strikes gas molecules and causes them to glow?
hydrogen & helium.
What is the potential and kinetic energy of a drought?
Potential energy is when a drought is beginning to form and Kinetic energy is when it is released by the potential energy, meaning it is releasing no water to the atmosphere.
Is a real car a kinetic energy?
No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.No. A real car IS not kinetic energy, but it HAS kinetic energy.
When a space vehicle re-enters the Earth's atmosphere energy is turned into energy?
kinetic and heat
What do brakes do?
A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
When a ball rolls down a hill what energy occurs?
The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.

Does gravity cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
When rocket reenters the atmosphere its nose cone beomes hotwhere does this heat energy come from?
From the rocket's movement energy (formally called kinetic energy). As the rocket slows down through friction, its kinetic energy is converted mainly to heat energy.
Do gas molecules have more kinetic energy with altitude?
The kinetic energy of molecules depends on the temperature. At first this decreases with altitude, and therefore so does kinetic energy, but then the relationship with height becomes very complex. A search for 'temperature profile of the atmosphere' will give you more details.
When a fossil fuel is burned what energy is converted into kinetic energy?
When fossil fuels are burned they turn into mercury which released into the atmosphere
What source of energy does gas belong to?
gas could be a part of kinetic energy or potential energy
