ye but isnt that because it goes through the mesosphereThe meteors that make it to the ground are actually cool to the touch. Only the very outside of the meteor is heated, and it is quickly cooled by the inside of the meteor.
Not long after the rest of the solar system was formed, which would be around 4.5 billion years ago. The most popular theory at the moment is that the Earth was impacted by a Mars-sized object around this time, which kicked up the material that formed the moon.kul...
When was the moon formed.
I honestly don't know a thing about how this works, but given that hurtling through the Earth's atmosphere is what heats the meteor up in the first place, I would wager that the cooling effect of the atmosphere due to its low temperature is negligible.ye but isnt that because it goes through the mesosphere
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesosphere
and the troposphere
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troposphere
and as the troposphere's average temperature is +-15 degrees Celcius you can say that its sufficient to cool it down.
the "atmosphere" isn't really what heats it up; it's the friction from the air that heats it up, not heat itself. It's actually rather cold up there otherwise.I honestly don't know a thing about how this works, but given that hurtling through the Earth's atmosphere is what heats the meteor up in the first place, I would wager that the cooling effect of the atmosphere due to its low temperature is negligible.
(The ram pressure caused by) travelling through the Earth's atmosphere at a high rate of speed heats up the meteor. I'm pretty sure we can both agree to that. However, you claim that the meteor is also cooled by travelling through the atmosphere. While the temperature of the upper atmosphere does likely have some effect on the temperature of the meteor, the fact that the majority of meteors burn up before ever reaching the ground ought to indicate that the cooling effect isn't quite as big.how can you throw something so important away so quickly.
Well yes, I should've been more explicit about that.the "atmosphere" isn't really what heats it up; it's the friction from the air that heats it up, not heat itself. It's actually rather cold up there otherwise.
so how do you expain this?The meteors that make it to the ground are actually cool to the touch. Only the very outside of the meteor is heated, and it is quickly cooled by the inside of the meteor.
again, the heat is caused by friction, and not actual heat energy transfering to it, the way heat energy from the sun heats an ocean. So the reason it's cool, is because there is no heat escaping it, because heat wasn't actually transfered into it.so how do you expain this?
Oops. I did tell you that I know nothing about this whole thing, right? I'm working entirely off of common sense here, and it failed miserably. Luckily, what's important in this case is the fact that the meteor is being heated, not how it occurs.showing you that it doesnt heat up with friction
so are youyou're wrong
let's look at what ram pressure is:"the visibility is due to the heat produced by the ram pressure (not friction, as is commonly assumed) of atmospheric entry.
showing you that it doesnt heat up with friction
drag is what causes friction. But as the link says:
friction is a factor. but either way, the main point still stands; that it is not the transfer of heat energy, but other factors that cause the heat; and because of that, it can be cool to the touch, because there isn't heat escaping it, due to the fact that there was no heat transfered into it.
Only about stuff that doesn't matter (and it really doesn't contradict that much). Give a response, please. Either that, or we can both just admit that we know nothing about physics and go home.now you two are contridicting each other.
