Meteorites are shooting stars . They completely burn out while they hit Earth's atmoshpere. Apply impulse concept to explain their burning action .

Explanation

A shooting star is a small piece of rock that hits Earth's atomosphere . It heats up due to their temperature . They enter with very high speeds . When it strike with high speed in short duration (i.e. impulse `=p= lambda ` t) causes burning . But when hit the ground , it becomes cool .
