Various objects enter our atmosphere from space, primarily in the form of meteoroids, which are small rocky or metallic bodies. When these meteoroids enter the atmosphere, they experience intense friction, causing them to heat up and often disintegrate into meteors or "shooting stars." Additionally, larger objects, such as asteroids or comets, can also enter the atmosphere, and if they survive the descent, they may land on Earth as meteorites. Cosmic dust and tiny particles from space also continuously enter our atmosphere, contributing to the background of extraterrestrial material on Earth.

What temperature is the space shuttle when it re-enters the atmosphere?
+3,000 F.
What is a small piece of space rock that enters the earth's atmosphere called?
It is a meteorite
What is a small solid body that enters a planet's atmosphere from outer space?
A small solid body that enters a planet's atmosphere from outer space is called a meteoroid. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with the air, it produces a bright streak of light known as a meteor or "shooting star." If any fragments of the meteoroid reach the Earth's surface, they are called meteorites.
What is it called when an object on solar crosses paths with earth and enters earths atmosphere?
When an object from space, such as a comet or asteroid, crosses paths with Earth and enters its atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid." Once it enters the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light due to friction, it is called a "meteor." If it survives the passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then classified as a "meteorite."
What happens when a space shuttle enters the atmosphere?
When a space shuttle enters the Earth's atmosphere, it experiences extreme heat and friction due to the high speeds it is traveling at. This creates a plasma sheath around the shuttle which can interfere with communications. The shuttle also begins to slow down due to atmospheric drag.
What matter enters your atmosphere from space?
Diamond trees.
What temperature is the space shuttle when it re-enters the atmosphere?
+3,000 F.

What is a rock from space that burns in space?
A meteor. But it does not burn in space. When it enters the earth's atmosphere it starts to glow from friction caused by its contact with our atmosphere. At this stage is is technically called a meteor. When it lands on the ground it is called a meteorite.
What is the velocity of an object when it enters the atmosphere?
The velocity of an object when it enters the atmosphere can vary depending on factors such as its initial speed and angle of entry. Typically, objects entering the atmosphere from space can have velocities ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers per hour.
A piece of stone from space?
This is known as either a meteor (when it enters the atmosphere) or a meteorite (if it reaches the surface of the Earth).
When a space capsule returned to earth after a mission it glows red-hot as it enters the atmosphere because of what?
friction
When a space capsule returns to earth after a mission a glows red hot as it enters the atmosphere because of?
friction
When were parachutes first used in space?
Parachutes have never been used in space, and never will be. Without atmosphere, parachutes accomplish nothing. They are used to prevent the fiery destruction of a space vehicle when it re-enters earth's atmosphere.
Which is the sugnificant advantage of space telescopes comapred with telescopes licated on Earth?
Light enters space telescope without distortion from Earth's atmosphere
