When small pieces of rock moving through space enter earths atmosphere and burn up they're called?
When small pieces of rock moving through space enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, they are called meteoroids.
How are space shuttles powered once out of earth's atmosphere?
Space shuttles are powered using rocket engines that burn liquid fuel (such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen) or solid rocket boosters. Once out of Earth's atmosphere, the space shuttle relies on these engines to propel itself through space and maneuver in a zero-gravity environment.
How do space shuttles enter and exit space?
When a space shuttle takes off, it gathers momentum and burns fuel to get higher. Once the huge rocket that the space shuttle rides on is out of fuel, it falls off. The shuttle continues on alone into space. To get back into the atmosphere, careful calculations are done. The shuttle must come in at just the right angle or else it will burn up or bounce off of the atmosphere and be gone forever. The space shuttle slices into the atmosphere and begins gliding like a paper airplane at incredible speeds. A computer controls the shuttle and lands it on a runway that is a mile wide and several miles long. It lands like a normal airplane and everyone arrives safely.
What are space objects that burn as they enter Earth's atmosphere called?
Its called friction. When the rock enters the atmosphere it can be travelling at thousands of miles and hour. In space there is nothing to slow it down, when it comes to the Earths atmosphere there is resistance as the air tries to slow it down, this creates heat and the tempretures can reach thousands of degrees, rock melts at about 1200ºC.
Why do space shuttles need separate oxygen to burn the fuel in the space shuttle?
Space shuttles operate in the vacuum of space where there is no air to provide oxygen for combustion. Therefore, they carry their own liquid oxygen as an oxidizer to allow the fuel to burn in the rocket engines. This ensures that the shuttle can generate thrust and maneuver in space.
What happen when a asteroid when they enter the earths atmosphere?
Usually they will burn up due to the friction they encounter when they enter the atmosphere, or they will bounce off the atmosphere and be deflected into deep space.

Where to meteors happen?
Meteors are seen in the sky when huge space junk enter the atmosphere and burn up.
Why meteoroids when they enter the atmosphere starts to burn?
Because they are going at very high speeds. Things cannot burn in space, because there is no oxegen.
Are there any rings in a meteor?
No. They are just bits of ice, dust or rock floating through space that then enter Earth's atmosphere and start to burn up, giving us the chance of seeing it. They are not like the planets that have rings.No. They are just bits of ice, dust or rock floating through space that then enter Earth's atmosphere and start to burn up, giving us the chance of seeing it.

Why don't they launch space shuttles?
they could burn up or explode and caus emany deaths
What term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids are the small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth's atmosphere. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere and create a streak of light, they are referred to as meteors. If a meteor survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.
