What else can I help you with?
A meteriod with a diameter of 1cm strikes the Moon What will the crater diameter be?
That would depend on several factors; the velocity of the meteoroid, the mass, density and composition of the meteoroid, and the nature of the surface where it strikes.
What is a meteor that strikes the moons surface?
A meteor that strikes the moon's surface is called a meteoroid when it is in space, a meteor when it is burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite once it lands on the moon's or Earth's surface.
Has the moon been hit by a meteoroid?
yes
A meteor that strikes Earth's surface?
A "meteorite" is the word for a meteoroid that impacts Earth's surface.
What is an object that strikes the earth's after falling through the atmosphere?
probably or mostly a meteoroid (scientific answer)
Part of a meteroid that strikes Earths surface?
Part of a meteoroid that strikes earth's surface is known as a meteorite. These are some of the bodies that are found in outer space.
What is a rock from space that strikes earths surface?
A rock from space that strikes Earth's surface is called a meteorite. When a meteoroid (a small rocky or metallic body) enters Earth's atmosphere and survives the journey to impact the surface, it is termed a meteorite.
How did the mountains form on the moon?
The mountains on the Moon were mostly formed by impacts from asteroid and meteoroid strikes billions of years ago. The intense heat and pressure generated by these impacts pushed up the lunar crust, creating the mountainous terrain we see today.
What is a rock that strikes Earth's surface?
A rock that strikes Earth's surface is known as a meteoroid. Once it enters the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite.
What is wrong with calling a rock that strikes the moon a meteorite?
Because a "meteorite" is a rock that passed through the Earth's atmosphere, was heated to incandescence by pressure and friction, and then struck the Earth. A space rock that hits the Moon didn't land on the Earth. However, this is a pretty minor distinction, and some space scientists use the term "meteorite" for any rock that falls from space, whether to the Earth, the Moon or Mars. NASA has occasionally used the term "meteorite" for rocks found by the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
What do you call an object that survives earth's atmosphere and strikes the surface?
An object that survives Earth's atmosphere and strikes the surface is called a meteorite. It is a fragment of a meteoroid that has passed through the atmosphere and landed on Earth.
How is it on the moon?
The moon is rocky and what caused this is meteoroid impact and of calcium,you need more info ask Neil Armstrong or a astronaut.
