What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the space shuttle that started on fire while entering the earth?
Columbia heated up and broke apart while entering the atmosphere.
What is the percentage Of solar radiation entering the atmosphere reflected by the earths surface?
About 30% of solar radiation entering the Earth's atmosphere is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface and atmosphere, a phenomenon known as albedo. Of this, roughly 10% is reflected directly by the surface, while the rest is reflected by clouds and atmospheric particles. The exact percentage can vary based on factors like surface type and atmospheric conditions.
How hard are meteors?
That depends, Meteors can either be solid iron / metal(S) or lose dust and frozen water. Technically they can have many different things on there surface and what they are made of from the inside is not know from just looking at it through a telescope/the naked eye.
Could the aurora borealis and arora australis be elctro-meteors?
The aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and aurora australis (Southern Lights) are not electro-meteors but rather natural light displays caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. When these solar particles collide with gases like oxygen and nitrogen, they produce the stunning colors characteristic of auroras. While both phenomena involve electrical and magnetic forces, they are distinct from meteors, which are generally small celestial bodies that burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
Why don't NASA's Rockets burn up while falling back through earths atmosphere?
The rockets have heat cells on the rocket
What is a rock called that crashes into earths atmosphere?
A rock that enters Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. Upon entering the atmosphere, it is then known as a meteor, popularly referred to as a shooting star. If it survives the journey and lands on Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.
Does meteor and asteroids look alike?
No. meteors are the bits of dust and stone that burn up on entering Earth's atmosphere. Asteroids are larger rocky lumps floating round in space. We hope the larger ones do not meet Earth's atmosphere.
What layer of atmosphere where meteors burn up while entering the earth?
Meteors start to glow in the Mesosphere, and usually burn out in the upper Stratosphere. Put another way, when you first see a meteor, it is about 80 miles up, and when it "goes out" it is about 40 miles up.
What is the name of the space shuttle that started on fire while entering the earth?
Columbia heated up and broke apart while entering the atmosphere.
When do meteors burn up?
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
Why don't meteors first burn up when they first enter earths atmosphere?
It takes a while for air friction to heat them through. Also some are massive enough that they never burn up but hit the earth instead, becoming what we call meteorites.

How do craters not show up on earth?
Once in a great while it happens, but the great majority of meteors are destroyed as they pass through our atmosphere.
Why spacecraft get hot while enter into the earths atmosphere?
A spacecraft has to work against the air friction when it enters our atmosphere. Thus it gets heated a
Which planet is less than half the diameter of the earth looks like your own moon?
Mercury. It has a diameter of around 4880km, while Earths diameter is 12104 km on average. Mercury is too small and close to the sun to have an atmosphere, so there is much less protection from incoming meteors which would tend to break up in a thicker atmospheres such as the Earths. The impacts of these collisions cause craters. As with the moon, the lack of atmosphere and weathering means that the craters stay intact for millions of years.
