What else can I help you with?
When a space ship returns to earth it is glowing red and hot why is that?
It is glowing red hot because of the friction created between the space shuttle and the surrounding air.
Light from the sun travels through space to the earths atmosphere What will light waves do when they move from empty space into matter made up of different gases?
They will slow down slightly compared to their speed in vacuum, they will bend slightly as they enter the atmosphere, and they will follow a path through it that continues to curve slightly.
What is a hot ball of glowing gasses in space called?
A star
What is the dramatic eruption on the sun that produces x-rays and hurls charged particles into space at nearly the speed of light?
Solar flares - which produce the solar 'wind'
Meteors are rocks from outer space that?
fall towards Earth and enter its atmosphere. As they travel through the atmosphere, they heat up and produce a glowing trail of light, known as a meteor or shooting star. Most meteors burn up completely before reaching the surface of the Earth.
What are glowing gases that shoot into space?
glowing is energy for the star so that is why they have light.
In space is it dark?
Yes! space is pitch black! however, because of the light of the stars,and especially the sun..... space is really glowing with light . but it is still dark in space .
What are the glowing clouds in space?
The glowing clouds that you see in pictures from space are called emission nebulas. A emission nebula is a cloud of hot, glowing cloud of gas and dust in space. These nebulas absorb the light of nearby stars and reach very high temperatures. The high temperature causes them to glow. Emission nebulas are often found in regions of space where new stars are forming.
Does a comet produce light?
Yes, a comet produces light as it travels through space. This light is mainly produced by the Sun's energy causing the comet's nucleus to release gas and dust particles, which reflect sunlight and create a glowing tail.
How can light waves move from empty space into matter made up of different gases?
Light waves can move from empty space into matter, such as gases, through a process called absorption. When light interacts with matter, the atoms and molecules in the gases absorb specific wavelengths of light. This absorption causes the light waves to lose energy and transfer into the matter as heat or other forms of energy.
Which object in space produces rather than reflects light?
All stars produce light rather than reflecting light.
What object has a tail made of gases and dust?
A comet has a tail composed of gases and dust. As a comet travels through space, it heats up, causing the gases and dust to vaporize and form a glowing tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind.
What is a glowing cloud of gas?
A glowing cloud of gas is typically a nebula, which is a large cloud of gas and dust in space that emits light due to the presence of energized atoms and molecules. These clouds can be illuminated by nearby stars or by processes such as shockwaves or radiation from massive stars.
What is long and glowing behind a comet?
A comet's tail is long and glowing because it contains gases, dust, and debris that are illuminated by the Sun as the comet travels through space. The tail always points away from the Sun due to the solar wind pushing the materials in the tail.
In what layer are light gases such as helium and hydrogen found?
Light gases such as helium and hydrogen are found in the exosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere is the outermost layer and consists of very low-density gases that extend out into space.
What are hot ball of glowing gas?
Stars
When a space ship returns to earth it is glowing red and hot why is that?
It is glowing red hot because of the friction created between the space shuttle and the surrounding air.
