Why don't NASA's Rockets burn up while falling back through earths atmosphere?
The rockets have heat cells on the rocket
Does the atmosphere protect us from meteors?
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.
Why don't meteors burn up when they first enter earth atmosphere?
Most do burn up entirely but the very largest ones do not completely burn up.
Where do meteors burn up while entering the earth's atmosphere?
yes
Many more meteorites reach the surface of the moon because?
They're trajectory brings them too close to the moon, and its gravitational pull gets ahold of them.

Why don't rockets burn up in the atmosphere?
They're designed to withstand a great deal of heat and also be very aerodynamic to minimize drag. Of course when things go wrong, sometimes they do burn up – we saw that with the Columbia tragedy.
Do most the meteoroids burn up the stratospheretrue or false?
True. The vast majority of meteoroids burn up in the atmosphere, and reach the ground only as dust, after drifting around in the atmosphere for some time. (The stuff you wipe off the top of the TV set? Some of it is probably meteor dust.)
Why do meteorites burn up?
They burn up because of friction in the atmosphere

Where do meteorits burn up?
In the atmosphere
Can a helicopter work in space?
No, only specially designed rockets can go up into space. As soon as a helicopter reaches our atmosphere boundaries, it would burn up. Rockets on the other hand, have been specially made to hold such extreme temperatures. :)
Does a meteorite burn the Earth's atmosphere?
No. The atmosphere burns up the meteorite.
Is space polluted by space rockets?
Most rockets are designed to jettison off before breaking the Earth's atmosphere. There are parts that comprise the secondary push, while in orbit, that burn up when falling back towards home. Anything else out there is littering the way that satellites and junk does.
When do meteors burn up?
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere to meteors burn up in?
Meteors burn up in the high atmosphere. If they land on Earth, they become meteorites.
The moon has no what to make meteors burn up?
Atmosphere.
