What happens to the kinetic energy of a meteoroid as it travels farther through the atmosphere to earths surface

The kinetic energy of a meteor decreases as it travels through the atmosphere.

Friction with molecules in the atmosphere causes the meteor to slow down and lose kinetic energy.

The lost kinetic energy is converted into heat, which causes the glow along the meteor’s trail.

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.

hope it

beta decay is the answer
