WHAT do you call a rock falling through earths atmosphere?
When a rock falls through Earth's atmosphere, it is called a meteoroid. If it survives the journey and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
How much stuff falls into earth from space each year?
Around 5,200 tons of space material, such as dust and meteorites, falls onto Earth each year. Most of this material burns up in the atmosphere and never reaches the surface.
What is The primary source of most of the moisture for the earths atmosphere is?
Oceans
What is the crystalline water that falls out of the cold atmosphere?
The crystalline water that falls out of the cold atmosphere is known as snow. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals and then falls to the ground.
What force acting on a meteor falling down through the earths atmosphere?
The main force acting on a falling meteor through the Earth's atmosphere is gravity. Gravity pulls the meteor downward towards the Earth's surface, causing it to accelerate as it falls. Air resistance also plays a role in slowing down the meteor's descent as it interacts with the atmosphere.
What is a water based material that falls from the atmosphere to the earths surface?
rain
What happens as parts of the convection cycle in earths atmosphere?
Cold, denser air falls
Rain that falls and doesnt touch the earths surface but just evapourates in the atmosphere is known as?
Virga
What is the term for a metiorite which enters earths atmosphere?
The streak of light across the sky caused when a space rock falls through the atmosphere and is heated to incandescence is a "meteor".
How much space dust falls on the earth each year?
It is estimated that around 40,000 tons of space dust falls on Earth each year. This dust is made up of particles like micrometeoroids and interplanetary dust that enter Earth's atmosphere.
WHAT do you call a rock falling through earths atmosphere?
When a rock falls through Earth's atmosphere, it is called a meteoroid. If it survives the journey and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
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.

Around 5,200 tons of space material, such as dust and meteorites, falls onto Earth each year. Most of this material burns up in the atmosphere and never reaches the surface.
A meteoriod that has reached earths atmosphere?
A piece of space debris that falls to earth is commonly known as a meteorite. When knocked out of orbit during collisions with other space material, meteorites can travel through the atmosphere and make landfall.
What is The primary source of most of the moisture for the earths atmosphere is?
Oceans
Do earths oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and precipitation together and how much?
Earths oceans gain water considering evaporation and precipitation together since when vapour is released to the atmosphere it condenses and later falls back as rainfall by about (1-5)%
Why would you send a a satellite to get material from a meteorite?
If you're trying to analyze meteoric material BEFORE it's been cooked and melted while penetrating the atmosphere, you have to collect it in space BEFORE it falls.
