What causes meteor?
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour.[1]The Meteor Data Center lists about 600 suspected meteor showers of which about 100 are well established.[2]
What is the moon lacking that would protect it from meteors?
Unlike the Earth, the moon does not have an atmosphere to help protect it from meteors. When meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere, the resistance of the air causes friction and generates a tremendous amount of heat - so much so that most meteors are destroyed before they reach the ground. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is nothing stopping meteorites from bombarding the surface. Hence, the large number of impact craters on the moon.
How many meteors are there in the solar system?
Oh, dude, there are like trillions of meteors in the solar system. They're just zooming around, crashing into things, causing chaos like it's nobody's business. So yeah, there's definitely no shortage of those bad boys out there.

Is a meteor actually a meteoroid that burns up in the atmosphere?
No, a meteoroid is the solid interplanetary debris before entering Earth's atmosphere. When it enters the atmosphere and heats up, creating a bright streak of light, it is called a meteor. If any part of it survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
Can Saturn's atmosphere protect us from UV rays and meteors?
Saturn's thick atmosphere can provide some protection from UV rays by absorbing and scattering some of the radiation, but it is not enough to entirely shield humans from harmful UV exposure. However, the atmosphere can also burn up smaller meteors before they reach the planet's surface, reducing the number of impacts.
What is a meteority?
A Metor Shower is when a number of bright objects are seen up in the sky at night, streaming through our atmosphere. Sometimes meteors land on the Earth. Meteors are pieces of rock, some very small, some very large. Many of them come from the Asteroid Belt which can be seen by telescope in an orbit further out from the Sun than the Earth. A meteor shower is when something hits a huge rock, and then little rocks form, and come to earth or stay in space, and make shooting stars in the sky.
Why doesn't the Earth have as many craters as the moon?
The Earth has a atmosphere that shields meteors from hitting Earth and creating craters. The moon has no atmosphere, so meteors hit it often, creating craters.If the earth had no atmosphere where many small meteors would vaporize , or there was no wind or rain or tectonic plate movement, and other geological forces that would eventually cover up such impact sites, and of course no seas, or plant life then earth woulld ovbiously have many more craters than the moon as it's a bigger target. There are well over 100 known sites on earth and more deemed as probable.Because the moon has no atmosphere, it has no protection from meteors, asteroids or meteorites. The last layer in earths atmosphere protects us from that. So that's why earth doesn't have craters.The earth's atmosphere (air), through friction, burns up most of the many meteors that fall to earth. The moon has no atmosphere.The Earth has an atmosphere that burns up many of the items. It has to be pretty big to make it to the surface. And the Earth has weather, which erodes and erases the evidence of many of the strikes that the Earth has had.
Why do meteors appear in showers?
Meteors appear to come in showers. This is because most are born from comets and as the comet travels, it throws off pieces of rock, which then fall toward Earth, similar to the way water falls in the shower.
Why the number of meteors striking the moon surface is much larger than those reaching the earth's surface?
The moon has no atmosphere ! Earth's atmosphere heats up anything travelling at speed - most meteor are less than the size of a tennis ball. Their relatively small size means they simply 'melt' as they pass through our atmosphere. Only the very largest asteroids survive to strike our planet.
What are earths first 3 layers in the atmosphere?
The Earth's first three layers of the atmosphere, starting from the surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. The troposphere is where most weather occurs, the stratosphere contains the ozone layer that protects us from the sun's harmful rays, and the mesosphere is where meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere.
