Meteor (flying rock) gets broken apart by air?
In: Physics
When you hit air really really hard, the air hits you really really hard back. Not only this, but the air generates a lot of heat as it is compressed by you hitting it really really hard. This heat will likely transfer to you, cooking you in no time flat. It is worth remembering that meteors are not solid bricks of granite most of the time – they’re loosely packed lumps of dust and small rocks.
