Normally very small solid objects

Answer 1

Yes. Upon entering Earth's atmosphere, the small object starts to hit air particles, which exist in an increasing number per square foot as the object gets closer to Earth (air pressure). This creates friction and a great amount of kinetic energy, meaning the molecules within the object move faster and faster, until the molecular bonds begin to break, which is the visible phenomenon of the object burning up. The speed at which this happens depends on the chemical properties of the object, especially its density, as well as the object's velocity.

Answer 2

Meteoroids. These are small pieces of rock, which usually have come away from a comet. They enter the earths atmosphere very quickly, and burn up as shooting stars due to frictional forces with the atmosphere. At the point at which they burn up they are known as meteors (shooting stars or falling stars).

Answer 3

Meteoroids. There's no formal distinction between an "asteroid" and a "meteoroid", but one functional definition is, if it's big enough to see it in space through a telescope BEFORE it hits the Earth, it's an asteroid. If it was too small to be seen in space, it's a meteoroid.

Obviously, that's a flexible definition that depends on how good our telescopes are....

Answer 4

Various kinds of space rocks will hit the Earth's atmosphere at incredible speed and are frequently incinerated. These are called meteors. If a meteor survives to hit the ground, it is a meteorite.

Answer 5

asteroids

comets

meteors

that kinda thing

Answer 6

actually this happens due friction force which produces a great amount of heat and compels the object to burn.(the force of friction is definitely provided by earths atmosphere)

Answer 7

They're Meteoroids.

Answer 8

meteoroids

Answer 9

Meteoroids

Answer 10

Meteors.
