Where did meteoroids originate?

Meteoroids primarily originate from two sources: asteroids and comets. Most meteoroids are fragments of asteroids, particularly from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, when they approach the Sun, shed debris that can also become meteoroids. Additionally, some meteoroids can originate from the Moon or Mars, where impacts have ejected material into space.

Which is not a source of a meteoroids?

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids can come from various sources, but the options are limited by your question. Assuming you're asking about sources that are not typical for meteoroids, the answer would be: Planets: Planets are not a source of meteoroids. Meteoroids are usually fragments of comets or asteroids. They can also be generated from collisions between larger bodies in space. Planets are much larger objects and don't typically break apart to become meteoroids. The common sources of meteoroids are comets and asteroids. When comets get close to the Sun, they release dust and gas, creating a debris trail. If Earth passes through this trail, the debris can enter our atmosphere and create meteor showers. Similarly, asteroids can collide or break apart due to various factors, leading to the creation of meteoroids.
