What else can I help you with?
Why does all the planets have craters?
Meteorites crashed into all of the planets.
What strikes planets and moons and is made of rocks?
Meteorites or asteroids can strike planets and moons.
How asteroids and meteors affect planets?
Unless they turn into meteorites, and collide with the planets, pretty much not at all.
What are large chunks of rock found mostly in a band located between the inner planets and the outer planets?
Meteorites.
What rock is the least common?
Meteorites from different planets and moons are very rare.
How do meteorites differ from asteroids?
Asteroids are objects smaller then planets that orbit the Sun. Meteorites are (usually) smaller objects that enter the atmosphere and reach the ground.
How are craters formed on moons or planets?
Craters are formed by impacts from objects from space, such as meteorites.
How are meteorites being form?
Meteorites are formed from large objects or planets colliding creating smaller debris. These debris then begin to travel at high speeds through space.
Are meteorite hit other planet?
Yes, meteorites can impact other planets in our solar system. For example, both Mars and the Moon have been hit by meteorites at various points in their history. These impacts can leave behind craters and alter the surface of the planet.
Do meteorites become extinct like stars do?
I suppose there are more meteorites that become extinct than stars. Meteorites burn up in the atmosphere every night. Not only on this planet, but planets all around the universe. Some survive but get destroyed when crash-landing into a planet. A lot of meteorites also get sucked into stars.
How is the composition to a meteorite relevant to finding out the composition of earths core?
meteorites are considered leftovers from the solar system's formation. Since scientists think planets and meteorites were made at the same time and in the same place, it seems logical that whatever a meteorite is made of is also what planets are made of.
