When they crash into the atmosphere with anywhere between 10 and 70 kilometers/second, there is a lot of energy involved.
Atmosphere.
Meteors shine because of gases that burn in Earth's atmosphere. The friction caused by traveling in the atmosphere ignites the gases.
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
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 do not just disappear. Meteors either land somewhere on Earth out of site or they just burn up in the atmosphere.
Meteors are seen in the sky when huge space junk enter the atmosphere and burn up.
Meteors typically burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is located between the stratosphere and thermosphere. This region is where most meteors vaporize due to the friction created by the high-speed entry through the Earth's atmosphere.
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
It has no atmosphere to burn up incoming meteors
yes
Our atmosphere also reflects UV and makes meteors burn up.
No, meteors are not extinct. Meteors are commonly seen in the Earth's atmosphere as shooting stars when they burn up upon entry. They are remnants of debris from space that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
