Shooting stars, however, owe their visibility primarily to ram pressure - the heating of the shock wave generated by compression of air ahead of meteoroids the size of sand or pebbles entering the Earth’s atmosphere. Auroras glow when the solar wind’s energized particles collide with atoms and molecules in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The transfer of heat from air to meteor results in the meteor burning. Astronomers have measured this comet-shaped region of gas to be 11,000. Ram pressure, produces a pocket of highly compressed hot air in front of the meteor. The northern lights ( auroras) and meteors ( shooting stars) are observed at somewhat similar altitudes about 50-150 miles (80-240 km) and 35-70 miles (55-115 km) above the Earth’s surface, respectively. is now stretched into the shape of a comet by gravity and gas pressure. A meteor striking the Earth or other object may produce an.

If a meteor survives its transit of the atmosphere to come to rest on the Earth's surface, the resulting object is called a meteorite. It will then become brightly visible due to the heat produced by the ram pressure. The photo above showing pale green northern lights pierced by a brilliant meteor was captured at the Grassy Narrows Marsh of Hecla/Grindstone Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada on the night of August 28, 2013. A meteor is a meteoroid that has entered the earth's atmosphere. Summary Authors: Federico Buchbinder Jim Foster
