What are the interplanetary material that collides with the surface of the Earth?
meteorite
What is the interplanetary material that burns up and becomes a bright glowing streak of light in earth's atmosphere?
Meteors, which are tiny grains of rock.
Is there really evidence that there was a planet on the asteroid belt?
There certainly is enough material in the asteroid belt to form another planet, however the immense gravity of Jupiter prevented a planet from forming.
Why didn't a planet form where the asteroid belt is now located?
Gravitational tugs from Jupiter prevented material from collecting together to form a planet.
How are meteoroids different from meteors?
Asteroids are the rocky bodies of material which have accumulated in orbit between Mars and Jupiter in an area called the Asteroid Belt. A meteor is the visible streak of light when an asteroid or meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere. A meteorite is an object from outer space that impacts the Earth and survives in some form.
Why do planets have a moon?
If a large piece of material (an asteroid, comet or planetary fragment or leftover) is trapped in orbit, it becomes a moon.
What are the interplanetary material that collides with the surface of the Earth?
meteorite
What are the main sources meteroids?
1. Interplanetary debris that was not gravitationally swept up by the planets during the formation of the solar system. 2. Material from the asteroid belt. 3. The solid remains of comets that once traveled near Earth's orbit.
What is a depression in the Moon's surface caused by the impact of an asteroid or meteoroid?
The usual term is crater. Most craters are nearly circular holes surrounded by rims of ejected material. The term "impact basin" is used for the multiple-ringed structures formed by large impacts.
What is the strongest material?
It is Carbonne, a mineral made from a mega meteoroid, steel and silk.
Interplanetary material that enters the Earth's atmosphere and collides with the ground rather than burning up is called?
Meteor
What is a type of fossilization when the plant material turns to stone?
It turns into a fragment of blue amber.

Chunk of material smaller than an asteroid that orbits the sun?
a meteroid or comet i think
What are terranes?
A terrane is a fragment of crustal material formed on, or broken off from, one tectonic plate and accreted
A tiny fragment of genetic material wrapped inside a capsul of protein is called what?
Protective protein coat
