Would a gold-containing meteor cause it to "rain" gold? Not sure if here or physics is the best place for this question, but if there was a meteor that had gold in it, what happens to that metal during entry of the Earth's atmosphere?  Since gold melts at 1948° F (1046°C) and boils at 5378° F (2970°C), and Space.com says a meteor reaches about 3000° F (1650 °C) on average, even if that's just the surface temp, some gold would liquify (I think).  I'm guessing depending on the angle of entry, it could retain enough velocity to leave the atmosphere, but I think at least it some cases, it could rain down as either liquid or solid gold and would be gold meteorites.
As it melted, it would be broken up into a spray or even a mist by the airstream. The droplets would quickly slow down to their terminal velocity and solidify, so you would get a fine gold dust imperceptibly falling over a wide area.
I am basing this on my admittedly incomplete understanding of meteors that do not contain gold. When the one in Russia some years ago exploded, it didn't vaporize, but only so many pieces were found.
