When an asteroid is burning up in earths atmosphere it is called what?
meteor
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.
How do meteors get knocked out of the asteroid belt?
Meteors are rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up. They can originate from the asteroid belt through collisions, where the impact can knock them out of the asteroid belt's orbit and send them hurtling towards Earth. These celestial bodies become meteors once they enter Earth's atmosphere and create a bright streak of light as they burn up due to friction.
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?
False. A meteor is a small rocky or metallic body that enters a planet's atmosphere and burns up, creating a streak of light in the sky. It comes from a meteoroid, which is a smaller fragment of an asteroid or comet that has entered the Earth's atmosphere.

What is the streak of light called that is seen after an asteroid enter's earth's atmosphere?
The bright streak of light is the meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere due to friction from its extreme velocity. If the meteoroid completely burns up, it is called a meteor; if part of it makes it to the ground, it is called a meteorite.
Do comets burn up the earths atmosphere?
No. If a comet were to strike the Earth, the results would probably be catastrophic.
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.
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 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.
