earths natural force pulls in meteors that travel close by. meteors rub against the air and get very hot. meteors burn up and are destroyed. meteors start to burn up. meteors make a bright light in the sky. meteors enter the air around earth.
The process of meteors interacting with Earth's atmosphere is described. First, Earth's natural force (gravity) pulls in meteors that travel close by. Then, as meteors rub against the air (atmospheric friction), they get very hot (up to almost 3000 degrees). This heat causes them to burn up and be destroyed. As they burn up, they start to burn up visibly, make a bright light in the sky (as we see meteors or "shooting stars"), and all of this begins when meteors enter the air around Earth.
