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 causes a meteor showers at the same time each year?
Earth's orbit crossing the orbit of a defunct comet.
What is the description of a meteor?
A visible meteor is a meteor that can be seen by the naked-eye
Is the produced from a meteor is produced by nuclear fusion?
No, the light produced from a meteor is not due to nuclear fusion. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, the friction with air molecules causes it to heat up and glow, resulting in the light we see. This phenomenon is known as "incandescence."
Which chemical readily vaporize and react in the atmosphere to form ozone?
CFC's are the chemicals. They readily vaporize and deplete the ozone.
What causes a meteor to produce a large bright tail?
The friction with atmosphere causes heat and the meteor eventually burns out.
What occurs when Earth crosses the orbit of a meteoroid cluster?
A "meteor shower". (The individual space rocks pulverize or vaporize when they hit Earth's atmosphere.)
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 are some of the causes of craters?
Meteor impact, volcanism, bombs.
Is meteor day a day?
The Earth is hit by tens of thousands of meteors each day. Most do no damage at all, but do add several tons of dust to the air as they vaporize.
What is a meteor's temperature?
A "meteor" is when you see a "shooting star"; at that moment, the object is entering the Earth's atmosphere, and since it enters with a very high speed, its temperature, at least on the surface, gets hot enough to vaporize any material. Probably a few thousand degrees.
What causes a meteor to shine like a star?
Meteors shine like a star because of the friction with Earth's atmosphere as they travel at high speeds. This causes the meteor to heat up and glow.
When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere it produces a streak of light called a?
The streak of light created by a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. A meteorite is the remains of a meteoroid that did not vaporize after entering the Earth's atmosphere.
What mainly composed of ice dust and gas and often orbit the sun?
Comets are mainly composed of ice, dust, and gas, and they often orbit the sun in elongated, elliptical paths. When a comet gets closer to the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing gas and dust particles that form a glowing coma and a tail.
What starts meteor showers?
The friction between dust on a meteoroid and the Earth's atmosphere causes the light to shine, which is a meteor. When lots of meteroids hit Earth at similar times, a significant amount of meteors show in Earth, causing a meteor shower.
What causes the meteor to fall?
Gravity and the unfortunate state of being in its path as it travels around the sun
What causes meteors to enter earths atmosphere?
Gravity. And the meteor is on a path that intersects the orbit of the Earth.
