SpaceX's Starship Flight 7 explosion caused pollution in the atmosphere when it blew up high above the Earth. The rocket released harmful air pollutants like metal oxides and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can damage the ozone layer that protects our planet. Scientists are not sure exactly how much pollution was released or how much of the rocket fell back to Earth. The debris from the explosion fell into the ocean, which was lucky because the rocket was made of stainless steel instead of aluminum, which is more harmful when burned. The amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere from satellites and rockets re-entering the Earth's atmosphere has been increasing. This pollution can stay in the air for a long time, affecting our climate. The pollutants released from satellites burning up in the atmosphere can harm the ozone layer and change how much heat the Earth's atmosphere retains. This can have serious consequences for our planet's climate. As the number of rocket launches and satellite fleets grows, we need to keep an eye on the pollutants they release into the atmosphere. In conclusion, when rockets like SpaceX's Starship explode in the atmosphere, they release harmful pollutants that can affect our planet's climate and ozone layer. It is important for scientists to monitor and understand these pollutants to protect our Earth.
