when space craft “burn up” in the atmosphere and vaporize, where do all the tons of metal go?
In: 3
A lot of things exist in three states, solid, liquid, and gas. Transitioning between these states as the temperatures go higher. Water goes from ice, to liquid, to gas as the temperature increases. So does iron, aluminum, . . . , etc. When a space crat “burns” up, it’s just the material turning into a liquid or a gas and being dispersed. The tons of metal just turn into tons of gas or liquid.
