Ep. 151: Atmospheres

Welcome to Astronomy Cast, the most popular astronomy-related podcast. Just look at what listeners have to say about it:

Astronomy Cast is out of this world! It's hard to believe that it's free! This is an absolute must for any amateur astronomer or anyone interested in astronomy or cosmology. The hosts, Pamela and Fraser, are fun to listen to, extremely knowledgeable, and are able to explain difficult subject matter with great analogies. Bravo!
"Very interesting and almost "easy" for amateurs to listen and understand"

    This is the second episode (that I heard) where you stated that meteors are heated by friction. My understanding that the heating is actually due to pressure. The web seems to point to both ways. Any comments?
