What would happen if lightning struck a meteor?

The lightning would travel through the meteor or through the plasma sheath around it. Some of the surface of the meteor may melt, though this will happen to a meteor anyway. Otherwise the meteor would be unaffected. The stress of atmospheric entry is much greater than any stress created by the lightning.


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.


When will a meteor shower and a full solar eclipse happen at the same time is it real?

Meteor showers and solar eclipses are two separate celestial events that do not occur simultaneously. Meteor showers happen when Earth passes through the debris left behind by a comet, resulting in shooting stars in the sky. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking out the Sun's light. It is not physically possible for these two events to happen at the same time.


When will a meteor shower and a full solar eclipse happen at the same time?

It is highly unlikely for a meteor shower and a full solar eclipse to happen at the same time. Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through debris left by a comet, while a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. Both events involve different celestial phenomena and occur at different times.


When is the next time a meteor shower and a solar eclipse happen at the same time?

Meteor showers and solar eclipses are independent celestial events that occur separately. It is highly unlikely for them to occur simultaneously, as they involve different astronomical phenomena: meteor showers are caused by Earth passing through the debris trail of a comet, while solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. So, it is possible for them to happen close together in time, but not at the exact same time.

Is an asteroid considered a shooting star?

No. A shooting star, scientifically called a meteor, is an object from space that is passing through the atmosphere, heating the air until it glows brightly.

Air resistance is the opposite of from friction true or false?

False. Air resistance is friction. A meteor coming in from space hits our atmosphere and glows brightly due to the airs friction.
