Re-entry. Kind of anticlimactic, isn't it?
Atmospheric reentry
Reentry
The water cycle is the circulation of the earth's water, in which water evaporates from the sea into the atmosphere, where it condenses and falls as rain or snow, returning to the sea by rivers or returning to the atmosphere by evaporation.
... compresses the air in front and around it so that the air glows and at night you see a "shooting star" - a meteor. If it impacts the ground before evaporating, it is a bolide and may leave a mineral remnant called a meteorite.
That would depend on your speed through the atmosphere. The outer layers of the atmosphere are actually quite cold - but when something drops into it at 130,000 miles per hour (the speed of a meteor) or even at 17,000 miles per hour (the speed of a returning space shuttle), things do heat up quite a bit! If you are moving slowly through the upper atmosphere, it will be pretty darned cold.
phosphorus is not cycled through the earth's atmosphere
Small meteors may burn up as they travel through the atmosphere, but larger ones do get through the atmosphere and land on the surface of the Earth.
Reentry.
When a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere, it is called a meteor. A meteor that passes through the atmosphere and strikes the ground is called a meteorite.

The Earth's atmosphere is just gas, just like an airplane can get through clouds, a rocket can get through the Earth's atmosphere.
This type of heat transfer is called radiation.
It is called the Atmosphere.
When a spacecraft goes into space its speed increases dramatically once it leave the earths atmosphere. When it is returning to earth, it hits the atmosphere at a faster rate than it was traveling when it left. The friction of the atmosphere against the craft, heats it up.
Phosphorus is not cycled through the Earth's atmosphere.
That is called atmosphere.That is called atmosphere.That is called atmosphere.That is called atmosphere.
That's called a meteorite.
A meteoroid is space debris that is made up of rock. A meteoroid that enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up is called a meteor. A meteorite is a meteor that survives the fall through Earth's atmosphere.
