Question

Explain how the earth’s atmosphere uses friction to protect us from
meteorites

Answer 1

Explanation:

When the meteorid is big enough to reach the surface of Earth without being completely eaten up by friction, it is called a meteorite. ... Friction with the atmosphere makes the body loose its initial kinetic energy, transferring it partly to the air in the form of heat, and partly irradiating it as light.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Earth's atmosphere is good at shielding its inhabitants from space rocks hurtling towards the planet because of its strong air pressure.

Scientists have found that most meteoroids that enter the earth's atmosphere are so small that they vaporise completely and never reach the earth surface.
