If a meteorite contains no traces of carbon can it be concluded there is life at the meteorite's origin?
No. The best element for building life is carbon. As we know there is no life form that would be able to endure cosmic void and heat produced when a metorite is flying through atmosphere. There is a high probability that a life form (regerdless if carbon or some other element based) in the meteorite would burn without leaving traces on it.
Why does the moon have larger craters than the earth?
The Moon has no atmosphere to protect it. A meteorite that would have burned up on entry on its way to Earth would hit the moon. Also, without atmosphere there's no erosion to fill the crates in and smooth them out. Without any water, more of the Surface is visible.
What forces act on a meteor when it enters the atmosphere?
MeteorOID - a space rock falling through space.MeteOR - the streak of light caused by a space rock being heated to incandescence by friction and compressive heating as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere.MeteorITE - a space rock that fell to Earth.
If a giant meteorite crashed into earth what would be the impact on human life?
Depending on the size of the meteorite, there may be no humans left to impact.
If a meteorite crashed on the moon would you beable to hear it on earth?
no because sound does not exist in space
What would happen if a meteorite had to hit earth?
the earth would be destroyed
Would the atmosphere of Earth protect us from a meteorite?
no, it is not strong enough to hold back a meteorite. It protects us from the suns deadly rays though. The atmosphere also gives us oxygen to breath, but if a meteorite the size of the earth came crashing down on us, then we would all be dead and the Earth would be destroyed.
How do you write a sentence with the word meteorite?
"Meteorite" is a noun, and so it can be used in the following ways: A meteorite fell to earth last week. More than 90% of a meteorite's substance is rock. It would be very unusual for a human to be hit by a meteorite.

When can a meteorite enter an alien galaxy?
Never. A "meteorite" is a space rock that fell through the Earth's atmosphere and became a "meteor", and survived the fall to the Earth. No meteorite from Earth will ever be taken to an "alien galaxy". Why would we? We'll find plenty of space rocks in space, where we don't have to use fuel to lift them back into space from the Earth's surface.
What would happen if the sun crashed in to the moon?
Earth would blow up along with the moon.
What is the scientific term for a shooting star that hits earths surface?
A shooting that reaches the surface of the Earth would be a meteorite.
What would happen if the sun crashed into earth?
The temperature on Earth will become so hot that no living animal, human or plant could survive.
Which would you find in a museum collection a meteorite meteroid or meteor?
You would find a meteorite in a museum. A meteoroid is in space, a meteor is in the atmosphere, and a meteorite is in the ground.
What would happen if a rock from space was coming to Earth is it possible for every one on Earth to break that rock with making a sound?
The atmosphere density will cause the meteor/ meteorite to heat up and break apart. No, if everyone on earth makes sound on earth the meteor/ meteorite will not break up. But still a large asteroid will cause mass destruction if it lands in the right spot.
