The collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter is essentially a problem of meteor physics. From the basic equations of meteor physics we derive, for the fragments, the height profiles of their velocity, mass loss, luminosity, electron line density and energy release rate. It is shown that the initial mass of the largest fragment is of the order of 1016 and the fragments did not penetrate into the H2O layer due to airburst.
