Abstract
The phenomena of the movement and destruction of celestial bodies in the Earth’s atmosphere are investigated based on the advanced equations of meteor physics. The movement of meteorites in Kunya-Urgench (1998) and Chelyabinsk (2013) is analyzed as an example taking into account changes in the ablation along the trajectory. Different mechanisms of destruction of these meteorites are described.
