OREANDA-NEWS Scientists have figured out what transformations are experiencing meteorites after entering the Earth’s atmosphere. Experts from the United States created models of the falling of space objects and explained the conical shape of the objects that managed to fly to the surface of the Planet. 

Scientists conducted a series of experiments that were supposed to help establish the processes occurring with meteorites. They got the stones through the water. In the process of such a fall, meteorites experience axial rotation. 

Under the influence of high temperatures caused by high friction force, meteorites are strongly heated. Most of these objects burned. In this case, the body, which managed to reach the surface, have a conical shape. The last one is formed to overcome the resistance to air flow.
