What else can I help you with?
Are asteroids larger then earth?
asteroids vary in size from rock size to earth size and bigger.
Do asteroids vary greatly in size?
Yes. Asteroids can be anywhere from the size of a grain of sand to larger than the Earth.
What difference do asteroids have from other space components?
Asteroids are mass of earth or rock about the size ranging from 1 km to even 500 km. Meteorites are smaller than asteroids.
Asteroids relation to earth?
Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun and are commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Occasionally, asteroids can come close to Earth as they travel through our solar system. If an asteroid were to impact Earth, it could have devastating effects depending on its size and composition. Scientists actively track and monitor asteroids to predict any potential impacts and develop strategies to mitigate any potential threats.
What planet protects earth by being hit by asteroids?
The earth has a hot radiation layer, and it is in this layer that a majority of asteroid burn up, never making it to the surface. The asteroids that don't make it to earth burn up in the mesosphere.
How are planets compared to asteroids and planets?
Planets are larger and more massive than asteroids, but very nearly the same size and mass as planets.
Which planet most like earth and why?
the planet venus.... size is about the same
Is the earth bigger or the same size or smaller than earth?
my guess is earth is the same size as earth
What is the difference between the 3 types of meteors?
scientific interest and practical importance. It is generally expected that the compositions of the asteroids that are most likely to hit Earth should reflect those of the most common meteorites. Here we report that most near-Earth asteroids (including the potentially hazardous subset) have spectral properties quantitatively similar to the class of meteorites known as LL chondrites. The prominent Flora family in the inner part of the asteroid belt shares the same spectral properties, suggesting that it is a dominant source of near-Earth asteroids. The observed similarity of near-Earth asteroids to LL chondrites is, however, surprising, as this meteorite class is relatively rare . One possible explanation is the role of a size-dependent process, such as the Yarkovsky effect, in transporting material from the main belt.
Are meteoroids the same size?
No, meteoroids are not all the same size; they can vary widely in size, ranging from tiny grains of dust to objects that are several meters in diameter. Generally, meteoroids are defined as smaller than asteroids, typically measuring from about a millimeter to a few meters. Their size can influence their trajectory and the characteristics of the meteors they produce when they enter Earth's atmosphere.
What is the difference between a meteorite and an asteroid?
In theory asteroids and meteorites are made of the same basic elements; it's just that asteroids are much much bigger than meteorites. Asteroid are bigger in size an meteroites are reletively smaller than asteroids in my opinion, but meteroites can be very big to, but most of them are usually small and have no effect.
What is true about asteroids?
Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size, shape, and composition, and some have the potential to collide with Earth. NASA and other space agencies study asteroids to understand their origins and potential impact hazards.
