It is difficult to answer this question because it mainly depends on the size and mass of an object. Most space debris sizes, almost like a land-rover, need hypersonic speed to enter the earth's atmosphere. This speed is classified as Mach 5 and over. (Mach means traveling at speed of sound, which means moving about one mile in five seconds)
Meteors enter at a different rate. Most meteor-sized objects penetrate the earth's surface at roughly 30 miles an hour or a little more.
Other things, like shuttles, need speeds a little more than the speed of sound. Because of their mass and size, more thrust is needed to penetrate the earth's atmosphere.

What causes a meteor to burn?
gases combined with the speed, plus the passing through earths atmosphere. Or to answer in a word........friction!
How long does it take a rocket at average speed to escape earths atmosphere?
It takes around 8 minutes for a rocket to reach space and escape Earth's atmosphere. This can vary slightly depending on the specific rocket and its speed.
How fast does a space shuttle need to be traveling when it leaves the earths atmosphere?
A space shuttle needs to reach a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, known as orbital velocity, to successfully leave the Earth's atmosphere and enter space. This speed allows the shuttle to counteract the pull of Earth's gravity and achieve a stable orbit around the planet.
What speed is needed to exit the earths atmosphere?
Any limit (if it exists, other than the speed of light) is very high.Meteors can hit the atmosphere at 71 km/s (44 miles per second). I don't know of anything faster than that, so I guess that is the fastest.44 mi/sec is 15000 mph, mach 24the speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s or 670 616 629 MPHthe Large Hadron Collider has achieved a speed of 299 792 455 m / s or670 616 622 MPHso the Large Hadron Collider can make particles go 7 MPH slower than the speed of light
What speed does the space shuttle need to attain to escape the earth atmosphere?
The speed needed to escape the Earth's atmosphere is about 25,000 miles per hour, or approximately 40,000 kilometers per hour. This speed is called the escape velocity. Once the space shuttle reaches this speed, it can break free from Earth's gravitational pull and enter into orbit around the Earth or travel beyond it.
Can a particle with negligible speed enter into earth's atmosphere?
Yes.

What causes a meteoroid to enter earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere when they collide with Earth's gravitational field as they travel through space. The speed and angle at which a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere determine whether it will burn up as a meteor or hit the surface as a meteorite.
How do the astronauts reduce the space capsules speed for reentry into the Earths atmosphere?

What is the speed to escape earths atmosphere?
Approximately 11.2 Kilometers per second, or about 33 times the speed of sound. However, at about 9000 kilometers above the earth, it is slightly less than 7.1 kps.
How fast do you have to travel in order to leave the earth's atmosphere and go into space?
The speed at which forward velocity carries an object into orbit (falling past the Earth's edge) is called "escape velocity". With no atmopheric friction or a counteracting acceleration, the object can coast in a stable orbit. The speed required, as measured at the Earth's surface, is 11.2 kilometers per second (7 miles/sec) or about 25,000 mph. That is the speed needed to leave Earth's atmosphere and go into space.
How fast does a space shuttle reenter the earths atmosphere?
A space shuttle reenters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour. The high speed generates intense heat, which is why the shuttle needs heat shields to protect it during reentry. The spacecraft gradually slows down as it descends through the atmosphere.
