“Heavenly rocks” are called meteors when they fly in space, but when they dive into Earth’s atmosphere, people call them meteors.
The United States Aerospace Agency (NASA) defines asteroid as an asteroid rock that is smaller than the planets (sometimes called asteroids). Some people call them “cosmic waste” or fragments left behind in the formation of the solar system, Space said.
Millions of asteroids orbit the sun, of which approximately 750,000 “reside” in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The width of the meteorite can reach hundreds of kilometers. Ceres, a meteorite known as the dwarf planet, is up to 940 km wide.
Meteors do not have an atmosphere, but many are large enough to generate gravity. In fact, some asteroids “own” one or two satellites. Sometimes two meteors of equal size revolve around each other and form a double meteorite system.
Scientists are very interested in asteroids because they can provide a lot of information about how the solar system was formed around 4.6 billion years ago. One of the ways to study asteroids is to observe them as they approach Earth.
A meteor is a meteor or an object that catches fire when it comes into contact with the Earth’s atmosphere. People also often call meteor stars. If the meteors do not burn, they fall to the ground and are called a “meteorite”.
They are classified into two categories: the iron meteorite and the rocky meteorite. Iron makes up 90% of the iron meteorite content, while rocky meteorites are made up of oxygen, iron, silicon, magnesium, and many other elements.
Meteoroid is the English term for comets or meteors that revolve around the sun. In fact, scientists have yet to come to a consensus on a common definition for distinguishing meteorites from meteorites. They explain simply: the meteorite is smaller than a meteorite.
Meteors and meteors are only called meteors when they plunge into Earth’s atmosphere. They can explode, burn in the air, create fireballs.
Comets are objects made mostly of ice. They contain carbon dioxide, methane, frozen water, dust and minerals.
