A meteoroid that burns up in earths atmosphere is called a?
A meteoroid is a small piece of space debris in the solar system. When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere it becomes a meteor (shooting star).If the meteoroid survives the atmosphere and lands on the Earth, it becomes a meteorite.
What is a meteoroid that enters the earths atmosphere?
When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it becomes a meteor. Friction with the atmosphere causes it to heat up and produce a bright streak of light in the sky. If any fragments survive the journey to the ground, they are called meteorites.
What drives convection within earths atmosphere?
Convection within Earth's atmosphere is primarily driven by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As air near the surface is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an upward flow. As the heated air rises, it cools, becomes denser, and eventually sinks back towards the surface, completing the convection cycle that helps drive weather patterns.
What happens to air pressure as you move away from earths surface?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface. This is because the weight of air above you becomes less as you move higher in the atmosphere, resulting in lower air pressure at higher altitudes.
What layer of the atmosphere is the layer where weather happens?
The layer of the atmosphere where weather happens is the troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, extending from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers in altitude. Within the troposphere, most of Earth's weather phenomena, such as clouds, precipitation, and storms, occur.
What happens if comets falls on the sureface of earth unburnt?
It cannot escape the laws of physics, entry into the earths atmosphere will cause it to burn. But once a comet enters the earths atmosphere, it is no longer a comet but becomes a meteoroid blazing across the sky as a meteor. If it makes it makes it to Earth, it then becomes a meteorite.

What happens to the pull of gravity the farther away you are from earths surface?
The Gravity becomes less
How does the hydrosphere interact with the atmosphere?
The Hydrosphere is inside of the Atmosphere. The Hydrosphere contains earths water. Mostly were clouds are and precipitation happens.
What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
What happens if only the moon moves into the earths umbra?
i'm pretty sure it becomes a lunar eclipes
How is big is meteor?
A meteoroid is a sand to boulder sized particle of space debris.When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere it then becomes a meteor.
How do geologists think earths atmosphere formed?
how do geologists think earths atmosphere is formed
What happens as parts of the convection cycle in earths atmosphere?
Cold, denser air falls
How does the atmosphere change when you go to high in an airplane?
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.
What is the earths second layer of earths atmosphere?
STRATOSPHERE
Where are blue skies?
Well when the suns rays hits our Earths atmosphere, the suns rays scatter across the world nearly and becomes blue skies...
