Hi All, I have been wondering lately if there have been calculations done on the speeds that meteors stop their hot flight and enter dark flight.
What speed does a body have to reach before it generates a hot plasma ball that shows as a fireball...or in other words how fast could a body travel without becoming incandescent. I know this is going to vary depending on altitude or thickness of atmosphere and possibly size. Has anyone seen data that shows this?
