I think they get caught in the moons gravity and are flung like a slingshot when the moon orbits.

Have there been meteors from Mars found on earth?

Yes.


How did meteors from Mars arrive on Earth?

Meteors from Mars arrive on Earth when an impact on Mars causes fragments of rocks to be ejected into space. Some of these rocks may eventually cross paths with Earth's orbit and enter our atmosphere as meteorites. Through analysis of the composition and isotopic signatures of these meteorites, scientists can infer that they originated from Mars.


Where don't meteors hit on Mars?

Mars isn't cute enough


How did meteors from mars appear on earth?

Material gets ejected from the surface of Mars by a violent event such as a volcano eruption. Some material has enough velocity to escape Martian gravity and floats in space as a meteoroid. By pure chance, it may get close enough to Earth to be captured by Earth's gravity. If it is large enough, it will become a meteorite on Earth which originated from Mars.


Are there craters all over Mars?

Yes, because Mars has a very thin atmosphere. If it had a thicker atmosphere (similar to Earth), most of the meteors would burn up. Since it has a thin atmosphere, most meteors strike the surface. Also there is very little erosion on Mars, so when a meteor hits Mars, the craters lasts for a very long time.


Does Mars have any valleys?

It has craters, caused by meteors hitting it. It also has valleys. You can exlopre it using Google Earth and there are some huge valleys.


Why do you see things that look like things on earth from a satillite viewof mars?

erosion works the same no matter the area and so do meteors.


Where is a meteors location?

Meteors come from leftover debris of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter .


Meteors direction of orbit?

Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.


Do meteors fall quickly to earth?

Yes, meteors do fall very quickly to Earth.


Why is mesosphere important on earth?

because with out it meteors would hit Earth because the mesosphere kills the meteors.


What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?

The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".
