What else can I help you with?
How can studying meteorites help us understand the composition of asteroids?
Meteorites help us understand the composition of asteroids because meteorites are small asteroids.
All meteorites collected on Earth come from asteroids or comets?
Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.
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.
What was around the sun when it was first formed?
Asteroids and Meteorites
Do meteorites asteroids and comets travel in their own orbits?
no.....
What are meteorites asteroids and comets?
Rock debree from other galaxy's
What do asteroids meteorites and comets have in common?
They are all very hot.
What physical processes have led to the creation of stone and iron meteorites carbonaceous chondrite asteroids?
Stone meteorites are formed from the solidification of molten rock within asteroids. Iron meteorites are likely remnants of the metallic cores of differentiated asteroids. Carbonaceous chondrite asteroids are primitive bodies that have preserved materials from the early solar system due to minimal heating and alteration processes.
What were meteorites before they got knocked out of their orbit?
Meteorites were originally asteroids or fragments of other celestial bodies that were orbiting in space. When they collided with other objects or were influenced by gravitational forces, they were knocked out of their orbit and eventually fell to Earth's surface as meteorites.
Where do iron meteorites originate from?
Iron meteorites originate from the cores of asteroids that broke apart due to collisions in space. These fragments eventually make their way to Earth as meteorites.
Where meteorites came from?
Meteorites can from asteroids that landed on Earth's surface. They were originally chipped off larger planetary bodies by bolide impact.
Other members of the solar system?
asteroids comets meteoroids meteor meteorites
