Once they hit the surface of the Earth (if they survive the impact!) they are called "meteorites".
a meteor shower
Before people knew what meteors were, they thought that they were stars which were falling from the sky towards earth.
Pieces of stone that enter the Earth's atmosphere are called meteoroids. Upon entering the atmosphere and creating a bright streak of light as they burn up, they are called meteors or shooting stars. If a meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Meteoroids are space debris that are in the Solar system. Once it enter the earth's Atmosphere, they become Meteors. Once it actually hits the ground, it is now called a Meteorite.
Once magma breaks through the earths crust it is called"lava"
Meteoritesis what we call stones that enter the earths atmosphere.
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
Antarctica was and is.
REVOLUTION
Once in a great while it happens, but the great majority of meteors are destroyed as they pass through our atmosphere.
Once you collect all 3 meteors in Kino Der toten you unlock the Easter egg song "115" By Elena Siegman.
