Soon, the Starfury's hullmetal skin was glowing cherry-white from atmospheric heating, and the temperature on the bridge had began to climb precipitously.

Orbiting satellites do not experience significant atmospheric heating, but their orbits do decay over time, depending on orbit altitude.

The system would also have to cope with atmospheric heating from re-entry, which could melt the weapon.

But it is unlikely that greenhouse gases will be stabilized soon, so we can probably count on additional atmospheric heating - and sea-level rise.

Black carbon emissions "peak close to major source regions and give rise to regional hotspots of black carbon-induced atmospheric solar heating."

A very fast plane doesn't need much wing, but must withstand atmospheric heating.

The other respondent said the atmosphere is essentially transparent to radiation and that atmospheric heating therefore occurred mainly via conduction from the earth's surface.

There's no atmospheric heating at all that we can see.

It is not affected by atmospheric heating that would otherwise destroy an object entering earth's atmosphere without a Heat shield.

"We're picking up atmospheric heating," Dodd's voice re-ported; "so are they."
