Probably, and depending on its size. Even though Neptune's atmosphere is quite cold, anything hitting it at orbital velocity should cause it to heat up to incandescence, and it could easily burn up. We don't know if Neptune even HAS a "surface", so it's possible that remnants of the meteor could sink into whatever it is that Neptune has in there.
Neptune is so far away that no Earth-based telescope could hope to see a Neptunian meteor, but there is no reason to think it wouldn't happen.
What else can I help you with?
What is the point where you can see most meteor shower?
When they burn up in the atmosphere.
How small does a meteor have to be to burn up in the Earths atmosphere?
it really doesn't madder
How do meteor catch on fire?
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.
What is a piece of rock or metal that enters the Earth's atmosphere and burn up is called what?
Meteor.
Is a meteor actually a meteoroid that burns up in the atmosphere?
No, a meteoroid is the solid interplanetary debris before entering Earth's atmosphere. When it enters the atmosphere and heats up, creating a bright streak of light, it is called a meteor. If any part of it survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
How does friction affect a meteor?
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.
What layer of atmosphere where meteors burn up while entering the earth?
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.
What is the difference of a meteor and a earth grazing meteor?
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.
What is it called when a meteor enters earth's atmosphere and friction causes it to burn up and produce a steak of light?
A meteoroid is a small metallic or rocky body. If it passes through the atmosphere causing it to burn up is called a meteor or shooting star. Any remnants that reach the earth are called meteorites.
Why does a meteor lights up or burn as seen on the night sky?
Because as it moves through the atmosphere the air friction is so incredible that it causes the meteor to heat up enough to 'burn' and glow. Its the same principle as when metal is heated in a furnace.
What are extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through Earth's atmosphere?
Those are most likely meteors, which are space debris that enter Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. The friction from the atmosphere heats up the meteor, causing it to glow brightly and eventually burn up, creating a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star.
What sphere do you see meteors?
Meteors generally burn up in the Mesosphere, but depending on the velocity and size of the meteor, they can burn up at almost any level of the atmosphere. We can see meteors because they emit light when they enter the atmosphere as the heated air around them glows from the heat. The reason they get hot and the meteor generally burns up is that when the extremely fast meteor hits the atmosphere, it compresses the air it hits and thus causes the temperature of the air to rise until the air glows from the heat. Also, the incredible friction as the meteor rubs against the atmosphere contributes to its glow and its burning up.
