If this plummeting satellite will mostly burn up in the atmosphere, does a parachutist whose chute fails to open, warm up before they hit the ground?

And more than just the seat of pants area?

Probably, in relative terms.

Relative to the speed and surface area, how much friction is created.

Obviously the parachutist won't have to come through the earths atmosphere, so it is less likely.

Isn't it normally the earth's atmosphere that slows a parachutist down?

they'd probably lose more body fluids in those seconds than they would normally lose in a lifetime!!!
