Meteors do orbit the Sun, until they come so close to the Earth that the orbit is interrupted by the Earth's gravity.

What is the name of large lumps of rock that orbit the sun?
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
How does meteors move?
They move around the Sun in ellipses - just like the planets.
What revolve around the sun meteors or asteroids?
Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the sun, most of them between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Meteors are the phenomena of very small bodies burning up in the atmosphere.
What is to move in an orbit of something?
A satellite
What is a shooting star's orbit around the Earth?
They are formed from space debris and sometimes can be seen shooting across the sky in a solo performance, but there are also meteor showers that can occasionally be witnessed. Whether or not meteors break apart depends on what they are made of, the speed, it's traveling at and the angle of its entry. The faster they are, the more stress. Meteors made of iron withstand stress better than those of stone.
Meteors direction of orbit?
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
Why is there meteors in your orbit?
beacuase there just are
How do meteors orbit the sun?
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are to be found/seen in the Earth's atmosphere burning up. Before they enter the Earths atmosphere they are called meteoroids and if they land on Earth they are called meteorites.
What orbit do meteors have?
Meteors are in orbit round the Sun and they follow Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion, which apply to anything that orbits the Sun, of any size and mass.
Do comets and meteors both orbit the sun?
no only comets.
Meteors shape of orbit?
Meteors typically have elliptical orbits, similar to comets. Their shape of orbit can vary depending on their origin and the gravitational forces they encounter in the solar system. Some meteors follow stable orbits, while others may have more inclined or eccentric paths.
Does meteors orbit the sun?
An object only becomes a meteor when it leaves orbit and enters earth's atmosphere.
Why do meteors hit planet earth?
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
Do meteors move?
yes b
What is the orbit of a meteor?
The orbit of a meteor depends on the size of the meteor. Different meteors have different orbits and it is hard to calculate its size.
Do meteors go beyond Jupiter?
Most meteors are sand grain sized objects that had been ejected from comets as they followed around their highly elliptical orbits. As most of these comets have orbits that extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter at their aphelion, then yes most of these sand grains that become meteors when they enter earth's atmosphere have been beyond the orbit of Jupiter. However they are not actually meteors until they enter earth's atmosphere, so while they are actually meteors they are nowhere near Jupiter. Many larger meteors were pieces of asteroids. The vast majority of asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter and thus have never been even near Jupiter, and definitely not beyond Jupiter's orbit.
What are five objects that orbit the sun?
Planets with their moons and/or rings, meteors, asteroids, and man-made satellites orbit our Sun, to our current knowledge.
