For a space ship to orbit the Earth it needs to be moving so fast sideways that as it falls towards the Earth the curvature of the Earth falls away below it. The higher the orbit the greater the sideways speed needs to be.
Thus when the space ship wants to come back to the earth it is moving very very fast and when it hits the air in the atmosphere the fridtion with the air cause the spaceship to heat up. The process of heating up slows the ships speed - the energy of the speed is turned into heat.

They didn't really, they were trying to kill themselves. They would try to maneuver to avoid the antiaircraft fire so they did not get shot down before reaching their targets, but that was all. Michael Montagne Or, did you mean how did the ships try to protect themselves from the kamikazes? The ships used anti-aircraft guns and carrier-based fighters.
