What is the shape and structure of a meteor in space?
Technically, a "meteor" is the streak of light caused by a space rock fallingthroughthe atmosphere and being heated to incandescence by friction and compression. So there are no meteors in space.You're probably wondering about a "meteoroid", which is a space rock drifting through space, which would become a meteor if it ever hits the atmosphere. We don't know, because we've never had a chance to examine one close-up in space. But we expect that they would all be different, depending on how and where they were formed - or were blasted apart by the collision of other larger space rocks.
How were Cahuilla Indian houses heated?
The sweat house were heated with fire.
What is meteor star?
A meteor is the streak of light in the sky caused by a space rock (generally, one the size of a pencil eraser or smaller) being heated to incandescence (glowing hot) by friction and compression. They look a LOT bigger than they really are. Before we knew what they were, people called them "falling stars". Many people still do.

Why spacecraft get hot while enter into the earths atmosphere?
A spacecraft has to work against the air friction when it enters our atmosphere. Thus it gets heated a
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".
Is the earth heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
What is a bright streak of light in the sky caused by the entry into earths atmosphere of a meteroroid?
It's simply dust and ice particles being heated - by friction, as the meteorite travels through the Earth's atmosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
Why does a meteroid glow when it enters the earth's atmosphere?
When an object enters (or re-enters) Earth's atmosphere from outer space, the air is heated by the friction of the object's passage. This friction makes the object glow as it heats up. Remember, these things are traveling very fast, perhaps thousands of miles an hour, so the air around them gets heated up quite a bit. Space capsules and such have to have very good heat insulation on them or they'd burn up on re-entry.
What increases enthalpy in the air molecules of the earths atmosphere?
the air being heated by the sun
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.
As evaporating water enters into the atmosphere what happens?
Its molecules become heated.
Earths atmosphere is heated mainly by what?
The sun as it is the most powerful heat source in our solar system.
What is the glowing trail that results when a meteroid burns up in earths atmosphere?
Air heated to incandescence.
