When a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere what is that stream of light called?
Sometimes it is called a "shooting star" but the stream of light is just the meteoroid burning up and parts of it break off.
Is the aurora borealis dangerous to the earths atmosphere?
No, the aurora borealis is not dangerous to Earth's atmosphere. It is a natural phenomenon caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, resulting in beautiful light displays in the sky. The aurora borealis poses no harm to the Earth's atmosphere.
What is a streak of light in the sky produced by the burning of a meteoroid in earths atmosphere?
A streak of light in the sky produced by the burning of a meteoroid in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. As the meteoroid enters the atmosphere at high speed, it experiences intense friction with air molecules, causing it to heat up and emit light. This phenomenon is often colloquially referred to as a "shooting star." If the meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
What produces streak of light as it enters the earths atmosphere?
meteor
What displays of light is caused by something burning up in earth's atmosphere?
When something burns up in Earth's atmosphere, it creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. This is caused by the friction and heat generated as the object enters the atmosphere at high speed, causing it to glow and disintegrate. If the object survives and lands on Earth, it is known as a meteorite.
What prooduces a streak of light as it enters earths atmosphere?
A meteor or comet
Brilliant light displays that occur in the ionsphere are called the?
Auroras are the brilliant light displays that occur in the ionosphere. They are caused by solar particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, leading to colorful displays of light in the sky near the poles.
What term describes a streak of light when a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere?
"Meteor" does.
Most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere is visible light?
no it's infared radition
What is the flash of light produced when a meteoroid passes through the earths atmosphere?
meteor ^v^
Which layer of the atmosphere can you find streamers of light called the northern light?
The northern lights, or auroras, are found in the thermosphere, which is the layer of the atmosphere located above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. These natural light displays occur when charged particles from the solar wind collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, primarily oxygen and nitrogen. The resulting interactions produce stunning displays of light, typically seen in polar regions.
What term refers to a natural light show caused be the effects of solar winds in the earths atmosphere?
The term that refers to a natural light show caused by the effects of solar winds in the Earth's atmosphere is "aurora." Specifically, the phenomena are known as the aurora borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and the aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere. These displays occur when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in vibrant lights and colors.
