What else can I help you with?
A meteorite is a meteorid that's enter earths atmosphere and strikes the ground true or false?
Almost true; a meteorite is a rock that has SURVIVED hitting the Earth. Many meteorites are destroyed when they strike the Earth.
Why is the Hubble space telescope in space and not on Earth?
Because the earths atmosphere tends to block and stir up some of the light from stars and so by having a telescope not in the atmosphere no light is blocked and there are no air currents or density differences so you can see more than a telescope on the ground.
What happens to asteroids when they enter the earths atmosphere?
When asteroids enter Earth's atmosphere, they start to burn up due to friction with air molecules. This causes them to create a bright streak known as a meteor or shooting star. If they are large enough to survive the entry, they may impact the ground as meteorites.
Where do x-ray telescopes have to be placed an order to view objects in space?
Because X-rays can't penetrate Earth's atmosphere. In other words, the air soaks them all up, and none reach the ground. So an X-ray telescope located on the ground would never see any, and would be quite useless.
Why does atmosphere exist on earth?
Gravity ! The gravitational pull of the Earth 'traps' the atmosphere close to the ground.
What Forms when a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids don't enter the earths atmosphere, Meteors do. Meteoroids are the rocks that you find on the ground after a meteor penetrated the atmosphere and made it to the ground.
Neither X rays nor radio waves can penetrate the earth's atmosphere?
False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent. Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.
Which of earths sphere includes the oceans ground water lakes and glaciers?
The energy exchanges between space , the atmosphere, and earths surface produce
Can microwaves get through the earth's atmosphere?
No Yes (see image link below) but water (even as vapor in the air) reduces transmission a lot. --- Microwaves can and do penetrate the atmosphere. Infact they are often used as a primary form of communication with spacecraft because of this. On rare occasions and due to weather conditions in the upper atmosphere, microwave radiation can be reflected back to earth. On the other hand less energetic radio waves that are lower in the spectrum are easily reflected back to earth by the troposphere. As a rule of thumb; VLF - HF (Very low frequencies to high frequencies 200 kc to 32 MHz) are reflected easily. (Follow the curvature of the earth and have a ground wave and are reflected by the ionosphere (D and E layers of gases which are charged by solar activity). HF - VHF (32mHz - 400mHz) penetrate moderately to penetrate easily (Starting to be LOS and can be reflected by the tropospheric conditions) UHF - uF (400 MHz - 40,000 MHz) penetrate almost exclusively and are nearly LOS (line of sight) Examples of microwave transmissions are ; Satellite broadcasting which occurs around 10 gHz Satellite to satellite and ground to satellite communications RADAR Speed traps Wireless lans (5 gHz and 1.2 gHz) Radio Astonomy SETI et.c
Which of these is formed from surface runoff that cannot penetrate the ground?
Surface runoff that cannot penetrate the ground forms streams, rivers, or lakes.
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.
Can asteroids and comets still bombard your planet - earth?
yes, many objects enter earths atmosphere everyday but are burnt up before they make it to the ground.
What is the lowest layer of Earths atmosphere the one directly above the ground called?
The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, directly above the ground, is called the troposphere. It is where almost all weather phenomena occur and where the majority of Earth's clouds are found. Approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass is contained within the troposphere.
Which tip on a wooden stake would take the least force to pount into the ground with a hammer?
A sharp tip would take the least force to pound into the ground with a hammer, as it can penetrate the soil more easily compared to a blunt or flat tip.
What is a rock called that enters earths atmosphere?
A rock that enters Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and heats up, it produces a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If the rock survives its journey through the atmosphere and reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite.
Why does temperature drop with height?
Since air is relatively transparent to sunlight, solar radiation passes through it easily and heats the ground. The atmosphere then gets heated from the ground and the atmosphere is warmer near the ground. As warm air rises from the ground, it expands and cools, and the sum result is colder air at higher altitudes than at the surface.
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground warms the Earth's surface, leading to an increase in temperature. This can contribute to changes in weather patterns, melting of ice caps, and other climate-related impacts on the environment.
