An atmosphere is a sort of shell of gases surrounding a planet or a moon. In Earth's case, we call these gases air. So you could say that the atmosphere is made of air.

What does the weight of the air create?

The weight of air is generally referred to as air pressure (about 14.7 psi). This is the weight oa coulmn of air extending from the surface to the upper limits of the atmosphere for each square inch of surface.


What is a piece of interplanetary material the burns up in earth's atmosphere called?

A piece of interplanetary material that burns up in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. When it enters the atmosphere, the friction between the meteor and the air causes it to heat up and emit light, creating a bright streak often referred to as a "shooting star." If the meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite.

Why is cool and dry air often called a high?

Cool and dry air is often referred to as high pressure because in atmospheric terms, high pressure systems are associated with sinking air that leads to clear, dry, and stable weather conditions. This type of air mass tends to move down from heights in the atmosphere, creating an area of higher pressure at the Earth's surface.


What Is a sudden streak of light caused by friction between the Earth's atmosphere and an incoming piece of solar system debris?

A sudden streak of light caused by friction between the Earth's atmosphere and an incoming piece of solar system debris is known as a meteor. As the debris, often referred to as a meteoroid, enters the atmosphere at high speed, it compresses the air in front of it, generating intense heat and causing it to glow. This phenomenon produces the bright trail that we see, commonly referred to as a "shooting star." If the meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite.
