because the human body is about as dense as water (1K/l) while rock is about 10 times that on average, so while air resistance won't let a human get past 300km/s, it will burn a meteor coming at 10km/s Idk about warmth tho is seems counter intuitive to think they would be hot as they fall through cold air
Furthermore, meteors tend to enter the atmosphere at high velocities, so there's a lot of friction, and since they're much more massive the air resistence won't slow them down that much, because they have a ton of momentum
Also, meteors are bigger and they travel at terminal velocity (same as light), so they can absorb more photons than human skin (which is reflective because of oils), and that makes it appear to be in fire when in reality it's just breaking the light barrier.

My physics is a bit rusty, but air resistence only depends on velocity and surface area, not density no?

This thread feels like an elaborate bit.

Lmao, don't get in the way of the super luminal meteors
