Do meteors have a atmosphere?
Meteors themselves do not have an atmosphere. They are objects that enter the Earth's atmosphere, where they burn up due to friction with the air. The bright streak of light that is produced is known as a meteor or shooting star.
Why cant a match burn on the moon?
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
What is most of the air in the air in the atmosphere made up of?
what is most of the air in the atmosphere made up of
Why is a streak of light seen as a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere?
Friction. As solid bodies pass into the atmosphere, the friction of the atmosphere passing over the surface heats them up. A common byproduct of heat is light. Those bodies that fall into the atmosphere that do not have a controlled descent, burn up. Those that are large enough to survive, or that do have a controlled descent, will contact the surface.
What causes the streak of light observed when a meteoriod enters Earth's atmosphere?
The streak of light observed when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere is caused by friction between the incoming object and the air molecules in the atmosphere. This friction generates intense heat, causing the meteoroid to superheat and ionize the surrounding air, creating the luminous trail that we see as a streak of light.
How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
oxygen from the surrounding air, making it suitable for space travel where there is no atmosphere.
What is the answers to this question you pass through fire but you do not burn what are you?
either air or water... water evaperates and air does nothing. Amanda Steffey

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.
What is an example sentence using the word air pressure?
The air pressure in the higher atmosphere is very large. It can even burn down large meteors.
What usually burn up the Earth's atmosphere?
Meteors and other objects entering Earth's atmosphere burn up due to friction with air molecules at high speeds, creating heat and light. This process is known as atmospheric entry or ablation.
Why cant a match burn on the moon?
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
Should you live on Mars?
No! There's no air/atmosphere, plus you'd burn up upon walking off the shuttle
What prevents most asteroids comets and meteoroids from colliding with the earth?
Hopefully, they burn up on entering our atmosphere, due to friction with the air.
Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?
Yes, electricity can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as lightning is a natural phenomenon that demonstrates this. Lightning occurs when electrical charges build up in clouds and then discharge through the atmosphere, creating a visible bolt of electricity between clouds or from clouds to the ground.
Is air part of the atmosphere?
Air is the atmosphere.
