The idea that meteors heat up due to friction as a very common misconception. In this video, I explain the process behind burning meteors, and some other misconceptions about them.
Some way cool footage you have there. Interesting distinction about compression too. Once when I was a kid, as if by intuition, I looked out the window one dark night and saw what appeared to be a bright meteorite fall to the ground nearby and it seemed to bounce when it landed. So I went out and found it the next morning and picked it up but it was nothing more than a small burnt out cinder no larger than a garden pea which crumbled in my fingers so in this case I suppose in actuality it was a meteor-wrong ? Cheers 👍
Compression is a kind of friction.
Interesting! I had no idea that was the real reason why. I guess meteors are the worlds largest fire pistons. Oh, and by the way, I hereby elect you as "World's Most Underrrated YouTuber".
3:32 Your mom jokes are refusing to die (and I love it!) 😂😂😂
I love that crater in Quebec! I found it browsing google earth before I heard about it anywhere else and I always thought it looked like Strong Sad from Homestar Runner
The reason why everyone in russia has a dash cam is because by law you have to have one to get insurence for you car. Insurence scams were such a huge issue in russia that they made laws to prevent them with dash cams. Basically they wont pay out without a video of the accident. Hence why everyone has dash cameras in russia.
Compression is the result of friction between the molecules and the surface of the pump piston or the meteor.
Yes, compression causes the atoms to bunch closer together, increasing collisions, and thus friction and heat 🙂
Bro, did you know that you have ADHD?
Bruh this sht has me dead 🤣 caught me so off guard 3:40

Science Friction books are the best.
