Why do 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.
Meteors are rocks from outer space that?
Meteors are rocks from outer space that strike the Earth's atmosphere and are heated to incandescence (glowing heat) by friction. Most are completely vaporized, but some do fall to Earth.
Where do meteors occur and why do they cause a streak in the sky?
Meteors occur in earth's atmosphere, day and night. Only the large ones are visible in the day. The streak is largely the result of an after image, temporarily burned upon your retina. The light comes from the heat ablation of the meteor's surface from atmospheric friction. Most meteors are roughly the size of a grain of sand, and burn up before reaching the ground.
What are rocks moving through space?
Astroids
What are distant objects in space called?
astroids
What falls though space toward the Earth?
astroids or meteors
Are there more colors or flavors in the world?
yes , the meteors , the comets , and the astroids are one.
Which type of kinetic fiction is usually greater sliding kinetic friction or rolling kinetic friction?
Sliding Kinetic Friction is usually greater than Rolling Kinetic Friction. Sliding Kinetic Friction is caused by two objects being dragged together, providing more opportunity for the objects' microscopic hills and valleys to catch.
What are the 2kinds of friction?
Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.
Is kinetic friction the hardest friction to overcome?
No, static friction is generally stronger than kinetic friction.
What is kinetic friction and sliding friction?
Kinetic friction is the friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion. Sliding friction is the friction that occurs when an object slides over a surface.
What things arrive on earth from outside in science terms?
Meteors, astroids, space rocks, and of course radioactive rays.
What is the name you often call a meteor?
There are a lot of things in space- meteors,astroids,and comets. If you're thinking of meteors, maybe when a meteor falls on Earth its called a meteorite will help!!
How is static friction and kinetic friction differ from each other?
They are different because static means "not in motion" and kinetic means "in motion". Kinetic friction means friction that is moving and static friction means friction that is not moving.
Why kinetic friction is less than sliding friction?
there is more surface area contact with kinetic friction as opposed to sliding friction
When a body slides over a surface the kinetic friction and static friction related as?
Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving. Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.
What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
coefficient kinetic
