Forum:KB:length of ion cannon's effect

In the battle of hoth when the ion cannon neutralizes the star destroyer you can see it being sucked in by the planets gravity. I was just curious as far as casualities are concerned if the effect would last long enough for it to start burning up in the atmosphere if not a full on episode 6 crash.
