A meteor air burst is a type of air burst in which a meteoroid explodes after entering a planetary body's atmosphere. This fate leads them to be called fireballs or bolides , with the brightest air bursts known as superbolides .
In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium. Like an ordinary wave, a shock wave carries energy and can propagate through a medium, but is characterized by an abrupt, nearly discontinuous, change in pressure , temperature , and ...
A meteor, known colloquially as a shooting star or falling star, is the visible passage of a glowing meteoroid, micrometeoroid, ...
Also actiniform. Describing a collection of low-lying, radially structured clouds with distinct shapes (resembling leaves or wheels in satellite imagery), and typically organized in extensive mesoscale fields over marine environments. They are closely related to and sometimes considered a variant of stratocumulus clouds. actinometer A scientific instrument used to measure the heating power of ...
The bright flash of the shockwave, or as astronomers call it the "shock breakout," pushes outward as the distant body turns from star to supernova.
Scientists believe they can find a meteor blast in Earth’s history strong enough to change the climate and, as a result, the animals that lived on Earth. Evidence may exist for a comet shockwave ...
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky.
