As soon as the "things" come in contact with the atmosphere; in other words, as soon as the plummeting object reaches air. It should begin occurring in the sphere directly above the stratosphere and last until reaching the ground.

∙ 12y agoAn asteroid doesn't burn up the atmosphere but the atmosphere burns up the asteroid. The asteroid which is moving at a very high speed due to the intense pressure change exerted over it, has a rise in temperature which reaches its igniton temperature and finally it burns out leaving a trial of light behind it.

When an asteroid is burning up in earths atmosphere it is called what?
meteor
What can go wrong when a spaceship enters earths atmosphere?
Burn up
How small does a meteor have to be to burn up in the Earths atmosphere?
it really doesn't madder
Why does an asteroid turn into a fireball?
If it enters a planet's atmosphere it can heat up and start to burn and turn into a fireball.
Do comets burn up the earths atmosphere?
No. If a comet were to strike the Earth, the results would probably be catastrophic.
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.
When an asteroid is burning up in earths atmosphere it is called what?
meteor
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planet's or a moon's gravity and has been pulled away from the sun's gravity true or false?
Sort of a Meteor is a part of an Asteroid, but it starts to burn up in entering the earths atmosphere

Do comets burn up in the atmosphere?
comets can do this (depending on there make up) however this is rare as a comet is actually a satelite, it is stuck in a orbit. an asteroid burning up in the atmosphere is more likely, thiese rocks are not in orbit.
What do meteoroids and asteroids have in common?
Both meteoroid's and comets are made out of rock and burn up when getting into earths atmosphere.

What happen when a meteor enters earth atmosphere?
When an asteroid enters the Earth's atmosphere, it is considered a meteor. Usually, depending on the size and mass of the asteroid, it will burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. If it is really big, or high in mass, or both, it will penetrate the atmosphere, thus making an impact crater on Earth. When it does this, it is now considered a meteorite.
Why does a moon have more craters than earth?
It has more craters because the earth has an atmosphere vs the moon which does not the atmosphere creates friction on the asteroid which makes it burn up into smaller rocks that can be seen in a meteor shower these rock burn up before they hit he ground.
