Astronauts in space don't burn up in the atmosphere because they are not IN the atmosphere. Spacecraft are above the atmosphere.
However, the most dangerous part of a space flight is getting THROUGH the atmosphere, on the way up or on the way down. The space shuttle Columbia was destroyed, killing seven astronauts, when the shuttle broke up during re-entry. The Soviet Union classifies spacecraft accidents, but we know of at least a couple when the cosmonauts did not survive the return trip.
Meteors typically burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is located between the stratosphere and thermosphere. This region is where most meteors vaporize due to the friction created by the high-speed entry through the Earth's atmosphere.
Meteors do not burn in space. They burn when they dive throughEarth's atmosphere, because of friction with it.
It has no atmosphere to burn up incoming meteors
The smoke is spreading into the atmosphere.
True. The vast majority of meteoroids burn up in the atmosphere, and reach the ground only as dust, after drifting around in the atmosphere for some time. (The stuff you wipe off the top of the TV set? Some of it is probably meteor dust.)
Because they are going at very high speeds. Things cannot burn in space, because there is no oxegen.
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
Sorry, that question needs to be clarified. What are you trying to understand that would require such an answer?
They burn up because of friction in the atmosphere
In the atmosphere
No. The atmosphere burns up the meteorite.
Carbon dioxide cannot burn.
No, you cannot actually burn water. Water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen, and it cannot catch fire or burn.
No you cannot. Old motor oil contains harmful additives that can be released back into the atmosphere and can make you sick. Don't do it.
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
