Are glow in the dark objects luminous or illuminated?
Luminous.
How does a space shuttle re-enter earths atmosphere?
When it is time for a space shuttle to return to earth it maneuvers itself into position and fires its engines to decelerate itself. Once it slows down a bit, gravity takes over and it starts to fall back to earth. As the shuttle hits the upper atmosphere it is slowed even further. The friction of the atmosphere against the bottom of the shuttle heats up the tiles causing the shuttle to glow. The shuttle goes through a series of maneuvers to slow it down even further until it reaches it final landing speed.
What are extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through Earth's atmosphere?
Meteoroids
What is the part of the atmosphere called that energy from the sun strikes gas molecules and causes them to glow?
hydrogen & helium.
What are small extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through earths atmosphere is it asteroids or microcomets or mesocoronas or meteoroids?
That's a description of meteoroids.
When solar flares increase solar wind from the corona what do they cause in earths upper atmosphere?
It increases the number of particles reaching the Earth's upper atmosphere. Normally, Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field block these particles. However, near the North and South poles, the particles can enter Earth's atmosphere, where they create powerful electric currents that cause gas and molecules in the atmosphere to glow. The result is rippling sheets of light in the sky called auroras.1 word for it would be?the aurora borealis

Do meteors glow as they collide with earth's atmosphere?
Yes and No, When they are flying down toward earth the are burning in the atmosphere thus making them appear to glow.
What is it called when hot objects glow?
radiation?
What makes shooting stars shoot?
Shooting stars are not actually stars at all but are chunks of rock that are burning up as it travels through the Earths atmosphere. The gravitational pull of the Earths atmosphere is what makes the "stars" move.

glow stone
What causes friction on a meteroid and makes it glow?
The atmosphere of the earth.
Are glow in the dark objects luminous or illuminated?
Luminous.
Why do luminous objects glow in the dark?
They disperse.
What is layer of the sun's atmosphere that has a reddish glow?
chromosphere
