WHY METE0Rs CHANGE COLOR
According to Scientists IL Ia Due to
Varying Atmosphere Through
Which They Pass.

i The earth's atmosphere is now be.
lieved to have three fairly distinct
strata, the first, extending up to about
forty-fiye miles, having nitrogen as the
leading constituent, the second, with
its upper limit at 125 miles, being
chiefly hydrogen, and the third, at a
still greater height, consisting Of a
very thin gas, which has been named
'.geocoronium."
DR.. Alfred Wegener has attempted to
explain the striking differences Of color
In meteors or shooting stars" and says
that meteors coming from outer space
are not sufficiently heated in the ex-
cee6ngly light gas to become luminous.
Their fall through the hydrogen lay
err causes them to become incandescent,
and before they reach the lowest
stratum most Of them are completely
dissipated. A few Of the largest, how
ever, penetrate the nitrogen atmos-
phere, a very small number reaching
the earth's surface.
It In found that the deep-falling me-
teors pass through three stages of
color-yellow-white, green and deep
red-and 1t Is concluded that the green
is due to incandescence Of the hydro
gen and the red to that Of the nitro
gen.
Only the first stage IL seen In the
quickly dissipated meteors, the white,
yellow or sometimes robustness being
evidently the glow Of the meteor sub
stance.
