When stars begin to fall to the earth will the atmosphere be able to stop them before they hit?

Question

God bless all

Answer 1

We should have never started calling meteors shooting stars...

Answer 2

The biblical reference to "stars falling down from the heavens" need not be taken literally.  While it is unclear whether the author intended to refer to some physical phenomenon or is simply being poetic, it is clear that stars in the astronomical sense will not fall to Earth.  The way gravity works, if a star were to be close enough to Earth to affect it gravitationally, Earth would fall into the star.

Answer 3

It is impossible for a star to fall to earth.  Even if a rouge star does approach earth it's gravity would pull us into it, we would fall to it.

If you are referring to shooting stars, those are in fact small rocks burning up in the atmosphere as they fall through it.  The vast majority of them are burned up completely, but if they are large enough they can reach the ground

Answer 4

CME"S might hit with our weakening Magenetic Field that they could destroy the earth.

Answer 5

not possible.

Answer 6

Is that a legitamite question?  All stars are suns, the majority much bigger than ours.  They won't fall to earth.  Earth would fall into them and burn up into the h**l that is coming.

   Didn't you hear about "Global Warming"?

Answer 7

When the Bible refers to one-third of the stars falling to Earth in Revelation, it is referring to a demonic, fake Type III 'alien' invasion that will help set up the antichrist's New World Order and its One World Religion:

After many years of careful conditioning, many will be fooled.

Later, ask yourself how we knew in advance:

Answer 8

Stars don't fall.  They have nowhere to fall to, except in on themselves.

Answer 9

You need to examine the dimensions a little bit.  Our atmosphere is maybe 60 miles thick and our Sun is 860,000 miles in diameter compared to our Earth being about 8,000 miles in diameter.  

You could drop our whole Earth into the Sun and there might not even be a ripple.

Answer 10

falling stars are just meteors or meteorites... they're not actually stars... and yes the atmosphere stops most, but if one is big enough or dense enough (a low density meteorite is highly likely to produce an air-burst as it blows up upon entering the atmosphere) came around, it could make it to the surface and cause some severe damage.  

Answer 11

That's like asking if a mountain fell on my car, would my windshield save me?  Stars do not fall to earth--they are much bigger than earth, and if anything, the earth would fall into a star.  You may be thinking of meteors and meteorites, which are sometimes called "falling stars" but they are more like specs of dust or raisin-sized rocks.  Equivalent to a chunk of rock that dings your windshield, which your windshield does protect you from.

Answer 12

The atmosphere didn't stop Chubby Checker from hitting.

Answer 13

Stars falling to earth? Dude they are so far away they will never come near us. You need to get a new tin foil hat.

Answer 14

Stars never fall to Earth. Stars are much much bigger than the Earth and very far away. "Falling stars" is an obsolete term for meteors, which are tiny pieces of space matter, no bigger than a pea, which enter the Earth's upper atmosphere are are heated to incandescence. Most of these meteors are small enough that they are totally consumed before they reach the surface of the Earth. The ones which make it through are call meteorites.

Answer 15

they wouldnt fall into the earth, and it would obliterate the atmosphere before it even comes close.

the sun is sorta hot and its 90 million effin miles away, and im pretty sure thats not even right. so we would be dead and the atmosphere would probly be gone by the time it would still be a couple million miles away

Answer 16

It not stars you mean - its meteors!

If the atmosphere burns them up there a meteor.

If the atmosphere does not burn them up then they are a meteorite!

Answer 17

Falling stars are usually specks of dust entering our atmosphere at tremendous speed.  Sometimes, a larger rock will enter, and if it survives the trip through the atmosphere, it'll land on the ground.  It depends on the speed and composition of the rock, but generally, anything smaller than a basketball will likely be burned up on entry.  (There are some iron and iron-nickel rocks that size that'll survive all the way to the ground, but again, those are pretty rare.)
