What was the bright light in the sky over clearwater Florida last night?

It is difficult to determine without more information, but it could have been a meteor, satellite, or even an airplane reflecting sunlight at a certain angle. Bright lights in the sky could also be related to astronomical events or space missions.


What happens after a meteor hits the moon?

When a meteor hits the Moon, it can create a crater upon impact due to the force of the collision. The size of the crater and the extent of the damage depend on factors like the size and speed of the meteor. Over time, the crater may be gradually eroded by other impacts or lunar geological processes.


Did a meteor hit the earth last night?

No. A meteor cannot hit the earth: meteors burn up in the earth's atmosphere. A meteorite, indeed slots of them, hit the earth last night. Astronomers estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10grams fall to Earth per million square kilometres each year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. That is a minimum of at nearly 50 a day.


What year will be the next meteor shower and eclipse on the same day?

Scientists aren't quite sure. It is confirmed to be 100-300 years from now, so you won't be here to see it. The only advice I can give you is that the most recent one was on December 21st, 2010 over North America. That night was also the winter solstice, making it extremely special, having a meteor shower, a lunar eclipse, and the winter solstice, which will not happen for another 1000-3000 years.


Why does Florida have over 6 tornadoes a year?

Most states have more than 6 tornadoes per year. Weak tornadoes are more common than most people think. Florida averages about 65 tornadoes per year. This is due to Florida's somewhat unique position. Over the Florida peninsula warm, moist air masses converge. This convergence, combined with intrusions of cooler air from further north means the Florida very frequently gets thunderstorms. In some cases these can spawn tornadoes.
