Because of the extreme heat produced by the friction between the air and the meteor, which is passing through at tremendous speeds.
it will burn up.
The Earth's atmosphere is warm and as the meteor goes through it, it heats up and starts to burn, which is how we see them.
When a meteor enters the earth's atmosphere, friction with the air generates enormous amounts of heat, which causes the meteor to at least partially burn up.
because when the meteor enters the atmosphere, it begins to burn and the tale we see is the fire left.
When they burn up in the atmosphere.
They burn high in the earths atmosphere.
Meteors do not burn in space. They burn when they dive throughEarth's atmosphere, because of friction with it.
it starts to burn and wventually crashes some where
it really doesn't madder
A meteor is a lump of rock in space. When one of these pieces of rock comes close to the earth it may burn up in the atmosphere as a shooting star. An earth grazing meteor is a meteor that has come close enough to our atmosphere that it starts to burn up, but will still pass us by as the angle is too shallow. It will go back out into space having been deflected by earths gravity.
Meteors start to glow in the Mesosphere, and usually burn out in the upper Stratosphere. Put another way, when you first see a meteor, it is about 80 miles up, and when it "goes out" it is about 40 miles up.
The bit that remains to hit the earth is called a meteorite.
