How does friction affect a meteor?
When a meteor enters the earth's atmosphere, friction with the air generates enormous amounts of heat, which causes the meteor to at least partially burn up.
What sphere do you see meteors?
Meteors generally burn up in the Mesosphere, but depending on the velocity and size of the meteor, they can burn up at almost any level of the atmosphere. We can see meteors because they emit light when they enter the atmosphere as the heated air around them glows from the heat. The reason they get hot and the meteor generally burns up is that when the extremely fast meteor hits the atmosphere, it compresses the air it hits and thus causes the temperature of the air to rise until the air glows from the heat. Also, the incredible friction as the meteor rubs against the atmosphere contributes to its glow and its burning up.
Why pure NH3 does not burn in air but impure PH3 burn in air?
With traces of P2H4 present, PH3 is spontaneously flammable in air
How meteors burn up?
The general idea is that meteors move through almost empty space, orbiting the Sun, at speeds between about 10 and 70 kilometers per second. This represents an enormous amount of kinetic (movement) energy per unit mass. When the meteor gets into the atmosphere, it is slowed down by friction, and most of the kinetic energy is converted into heat. Part of this stays in the atmosphere, another part heats up the meteor.
Why do candles go out when covered?
because the air current carries away the oxygen, which is needed for a candle to burn.
Why does a meteor burn?
Because of the extreme heat produced by the friction between the air and the meteor, which is passing through at tremendous speeds.
Why does a meteor lights up or burn as seen on the night sky?
Because as it moves through the atmosphere the air friction is so incredible that it causes the meteor to heat up enough to 'burn' and glow. Its the same principle as when metal is heated in a furnace.

What layer of atmosphere where meteors burn up while entering the earth?
Meteors start to glow in the Mesosphere, and usually burn out in the upper Stratosphere. Put another way, when you first see a meteor, it is about 80 miles up, and when it "goes out" it is about 40 miles up.
Why do meteors burn up in the Mesosphere?
Meteors burn up in the mesosphere due to friction with air molecules as they enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. This friction generates intense heat, causing the meteor to vaporize and create the bright streak of light known as a meteor. The mesosphere is dense enough to slow down the meteor, but not enough to prevent it from burning up.
Do meteors or comets burn in the atmosphere?
Not really - they compress air to the point of incandesce, the heat of which tends to volatilize any solid object (the meteor) causing it.
How much gravity does a meteor have?
The gravitational forces of attraction between you and a meteor are exactly the same as the gravitational forces of ttraction between you and any other object that has the same amount of mass as the meteor has, and is the same distance from you.
What dragons do you breed to get a meteor dragon?
You can breed a Meteor Dragon by an air and metal dragon.
Does air effects length of time for a candle to burn?
yes.you need more air,as the candle will burn for longer in a bigger volume of air because the air contains oxygen which is needed for combustion
Does silicon burn in air?
Silicon does not burn in air because it forms a protective layer of silicon dioxide when exposed to oxygen, preventing further oxidation reactions.
Do meteors have a atmosphere?
Meteors themselves do not have an atmosphere. They are objects that enter the Earth's atmosphere, where they burn up due to friction with the air. The bright streak of light that is produced is known as a meteor or shooting star.
