Is scattering a natural process that keeps earths atmosphere warm?
No, scattering has nothing to do with keeping the earth warm. Scattering refers to the way rays of light, or radiation or other particles have to change direction, often when they bump into something.
Condensation is often triggered as water vapor rising in the atmosphere?
Warms
About how often do earths magnetic poles reverse?
Every 250,000 years, when it farts
What is hydroshpere?
A hydrosphere is all the water on a planet. Most often term is used to refer to the water on Earth.

What is a large rock in outer space called?
... compresses the air in front and around it so that the air glows and at night you see a "shooting star" - a meteor. If it impacts the ground before evaporating, it is a bolide and may leave a mineral remnant called a meteorite.
Why are meteors mistakenly called shooting stars and what are they are made of?
Meteors are mistakenly called shooting stars because they appear as streaks of light in the sky when they enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up. They are not actually stars, but small rocky or metallic objects, often debris from comets or asteroids, that collide with Earth's atmosphere. As they heat up from the friction, they vaporize and create the glowing trails we see.
What planet is known as a shooting star?
A meteor that's what it is
Does only the moon have craters?
No, Earth has some craters, but not as many because Earth has an atmosphere to destroy or smallen meteors, but the moon does not, so it is hit by meteors more3 often.
Why doesn't the Earth have as many craters as the moon?
The Earth has a atmosphere that shields meteors from hitting Earth and creating craters. The moon has no atmosphere, so meteors hit it often, creating craters.If the earth had no atmosphere where many small meteors would vaporize , or there was no wind or rain or tectonic plate movement, and other geological forces that would eventually cover up such impact sites, and of course no seas, or plant life then earth woulld ovbiously have many more craters than the moon as it's a bigger target. There are well over 100 known sites on earth and more deemed as probable.Because the moon has no atmosphere, it has no protection from meteors, asteroids or meteorites. The last layer in earths atmosphere protects us from that. So that's why earth doesn't have craters.The earth's atmosphere (air), through friction, burns up most of the many meteors that fall to earth. The moon has no atmosphere.The Earth has an atmosphere that burns up many of the items. It has to be pretty big to make it to the surface. And the Earth has weather, which erodes and erases the evidence of many of the strikes that the Earth has had.
What is the difference between a meteriod and a meteor?
A meteor is defined a body that can be observed burning as it enter s the Earth's atmosphere. They are often referred to as shooting stars. A meteoroid is a small particle from an asteroid or comet that orbits the Sun.
Are meteorites the same thing as stars?
No. They are small items, like a rock or a stone or even smaller. They pass through space and if they enter our atmosphere, they burn up appearing as meteors. People often use the incorrect term "shooting star" for a meteor, but they are not the same thing as a star.
How often do you see meteors?
Not very often
Astriods are often called?
meteors
What is the term for the often colorful lights that occur in the atmosphere above the earths norhtern geomagnetic pole?
Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights.
