“How would that start fires?”

Everybody who has seen any of these current Hollywood -asteroid coming to destroy earth- movies knows that!!

First it goes BOOM!!!! And there is a HUGE explosion... toms of flaming debris fly EVERYWHERE.. and then we all burn up and die.

The end. -science.

How would that start fires?

The tremendous kinetic energy of an object hitting the atmosphere

All that energy is converted to heat - the thermal pulse resulting is similar to that of a nuclear blast
