Abstract:
We analyze the impact of large high velocity bodies on the surface of the Earth and obtain estimates of the size of the crater. We show that the atmosphere does not stop large bolides and their mass loss and heating during entry in the atmosphere can be neglected. © 2006 American Association of Physics Teachers.
