bcoz chunks r so yummie so wen it enter the earths atmosphere the smell is soo gud
They are all the same thing essentially -- it's their location that determines what they are called. Meteoroids are in space, they are then called meteors when burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and become meteorites once on the surface of the planet, if any of it survives. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock roaming through space. A meteor is a chunk of rock entering our atmosphere (shooting star). A meteorite is what's left over from the chunk of rock after impact.
No. Meteors are fragments of rock and/or metal entering the atmosphere.
A chunk of rock from space that has entered Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. When it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction, it creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor shower or "shooting star." If it survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then referred to as a meteorite. These objects can originate from asteroids, comets, or even the Moon and Mars.
Bits of rock from outer space entering our atmosphere.
A space rock that is entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to heat up and produce bright light, it is then referred to as a meteor or shooting star.
Meteoroids :)
astroid
Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.
A chunk of rock or dust floating through space is called a meteoroid. It moves around the Solar System and becomes a meteor if it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
A meteor. Technically, a "meteor" is the flash of light itself. Once the rock hits the Earth's surface (IF it survives) it is called a "meteorite".
A meteoroid.
A shooting star, or meteor, is a space rock entering Earth's atmosphere and burning up due to friction. It can be seen in the mesosphere, the third layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere.
