What are long streaks of bright light caused when metiroid gets close to the ground as its buring?
fire ball
Does a comet have a speedy streak of light?
No; you may be thinking of a "meteor". A comet may have a long tail, but it does not APPEAR to move quickly across the sky.
How can you differentiate a meteor from comet when viewed from earth?
A comet has a long tail (hence the name comet meaning long-haired star) while a meteor is only a beam of light.
How are metiors named?
A meteor is the streak of light in the sky caused by a space rock or fleck of dust falling through the Earth's atmosphere. They are transient phenomena, and don't last long enough to be named. Meteor showers, which are recurring about the same time every year, are the leftovers of generally ancient comets. Meteor showers are named by the constellation from which they appear to fall. Meteorites, if large enough, are sometimes named by the location where they were found..
What is the difference between a comet and an asteroid compared to a meteor?
A Comet:comets are also members of our solar system , they move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. Their period of revolution around the sun is usually very long. A comet appears as a bright head with a long tail . The tail of the comet is always directed away from the sun. Some comets are known to appear periodically . One such comet is the Halley's comet which appears nearly after 76years. Asteroids:There is a huge gap between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. this gap is occupied by the asteroids , which revolve around the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. So , comet is like a body that revolves periodically around the sun whereas there is an asteroid belt already present in the solar system. Meteor: A meteor is a small object that sometimes enters the atmosphere of the Earth. When it does so its speed is very high , and due to friction it lights up and evaporates quickly. That is why at night sometimes we see a bright streak of light , commonly known as a shooting star. Sometimes the meteor is too large and does not evaporate completely , and hits the surface of the earth .This body is called a Meteorite.
Long streaks of bright light caused when a meteoroid gets close to the sun?
A meteor is long streak of light that is visible when a meteoroid gets close to the sun. When a meteor goes through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it is called a meteorite.
What is a long streaks of bright light caused when a meteoroid gets close to the ground as its?
a fireball
What are long streaks of bright light caused when metiroid gets close to the ground as its buring?
fire ball
What meteor fills the night sky?
A meteoroid enters the atmosphere and becomes a meteor. As it burns up it does cause a long bright streak in the sky. The duration and intensity of this bright streak depends on the size of the meteoroid. Larger ones burn brighter, and for longer.
How long does it take a meteor to revolve?
It depends on the meteor.
Is bright a long I word?
Yes. It has the long I (bryt) like other -IGHT words, fight, light, and right.
Why does a beam of light become less bright as it travels?
Because it travels long distances and if you traveled long distances you would be tired so the light is absorbed by the surroundings
What did people once think the long dark streaks on the surface of Mars?
People once thought that these streaks were canals dug by Martians.
What is a long streaks of bright light caused when a meteroid gets close to the ground as it's burning up?
=ANSWER:==Frictional heating, produced by the meteoroid's energetic collision with atmospheric atoms and molecules, causes its surface to melt and vaporize and also heats the air around it. The result is the luminous phenomenon recognized as a meteor. Popular synonyms for meteors include shooting stars and falling stars. The vast majority of meteoroids that collide with Earth burn up in the upper atmosphere. If a meteoroid survives its fiery plunge through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, the object is known as a meteorite.=
Does a comet have a speedy streak of light?
No; you may be thinking of a "meteor". A comet may have a long tail, but it does not APPEAR to move quickly across the sky.
How did meter get its name?
There was a meteor that crashed in England, in 1384. The meteor happened to be 3 feet long. Therefore they took meter from the word meteor.
How can you differentiate a meteor from comet when viewed from earth?
A comet has a long tail (hence the name comet meaning long-haired star) while a meteor is only a beam of light.
