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.

How can energy be transferred through the atmosphere?
Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
How does Earths Atmosphere Gets Energy?
by the earth's energy being reflected to the atmosphere
What type of energy is transmitted through the atmosphere?
Through the atmosphere rather than by the atmosphere, then that would be electromagnetic energy.
The is the source of all energy in our atmosphere.?
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
What does the amount of energy in the atmosphere depend on?
the amount of energy absorbed by the sun and the amount of energy that escapes the earths atmosphere.
What is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere?
what is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere
Where does the energy in the earth's atmosphere originate?
The energy in the earth's atmosphere primarily originates from the Sun. The Sun heats the earth and the water, heating the atmosphere.
What is the benefit of the atmosphere trapping energy from the sun?
The benefit of the atmosphere trapping energy from the sun is to keep Earth warm.
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is?
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is called albedo. With albedo, sunlight is reflected which prevents solar energy from being absorbed in the ground.
Is the source of all energy in our atmosphere?
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
What happens to all of the energy that the earth receives from the sun?
Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Can you give examples of how the atmosphere moves heat energy around?
The heat energy is moved around by the suttle atmosphere winds
