Sure can. If that little sucker comes in at the wrong angle and at the wrong speed it will bounce right off that there atmosphere.

What is the outermost and biggest layer of earth atmosphere?
The ionosphere there are particles called ions in the ionosphere (hens the name). The ions cause radio waves from am radio stations to bounce off of it.
How does earth bounce back heat into the atmosphere?
Warm air rises through convection.
When a space capsule returns to Earth after a mission it glows red-hot as it enters the atmosphere because of what?
Friction . The space craft is moving at several thousands of miles per hour (extremely fast) . At this speed it meets up with the gas particles of the upper atmosphere, hence friction. As an anology, if you throw a spinning flat stone parallel to the surface of water it will bounce off the water. If that angle is too big that stone will plunge into the water causing a splash (friction). So space capsules have to strike the upper atmosphere at just the correct angle, because '1' they may bounce off into space and never return, or '2' plunge so sharply into the atmosphere that they 'burn' up. So the angle of re-entry has to be 'just right' to stop either 'bouncing off' or creating a 'big splash'. Thereby minimising friction.
Do waves bounce off each other or go through each other?
Waves travel through each other.
What is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere that gives off light?
binary system
Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
Can spaceships fly?
Spaceships can fly, but need certain materials for lift off.
How spaceships get into space?
You use a spaceship and break through the earths atmosphere
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.
Does a basketball bounce higher in a colder atmosphere or in a warmer atmosphere?
Warmer atmosphere
How high can a ball bounce in a warm atmosphere?
bounce a ball and you'll find out
Why color is the sky?
There is colored light bouncing off from the atmosphere to the sky. The light is all the colors of the rainbow, but blue happens to bounce off the most.
What is the difference between airplanes flight and space flight?
Airplane stay Inside The Atmosphere. Spaceships Dont, They Go Outside Of The Atmosphere
Spaceships entering the Earth experiences burning because of friction in the Earth's atmosphere. Why do spaceships going out into space don't experience the same burn?
Because they are not going fast enough
Why is the sky's color blue?
There is colored light bouncing off from the atmosphere to the sky. The light is all the colors of the rainbow, but blue happens to bounce off the most.
Do spaceships launch straight up or on an angle?
On an angle to get through the atmosphere without burning up.
Where do US spaceships take off today?
Russia.
