What two objects produce meteorites?
comets and asteroids
What happens when earth passes through a cluster of meteoroids?
When Earth passes through a cluster of meteoroids, the meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating meteor showers. These meteor showers are often visible to observers as bright streaks of light in the night sky. The meteoroids are typically small fragments of comets or asteroids.
Debris from the solar system strikes the earth as?
meteoroids, entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up as meteors or shooting stars. Some larger pieces that reach the Earth's surface are known as meteorites. These debris can come from asteroids, comets, or other celestial bodies in the solar system.
Where are meteoroids usually found?
In space. Most of them seem to be in the plane of the equiptic and between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Which object in the solar system is a frozen mass of ice or dust?
i believe that the answer to that aught to be either comet or asteroid
Where do meteriods come from?
Meteoroids are rocky or metallic fragments from space that come from comets or asteroids. They can be leftovers from the formation of the solar system and are usually small in size, ranging from dust particles to boulder-sized objects. Many meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere as meteors and may land on the surface as meteorites.
What prevents most asteroids comets and meteoroids from colliding with the earth?
Hopefully, they burn up on entering our atmosphere, due to friction with the air.
What are the three types of NEOs?
The three types of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. Asteroids are rocky bodies primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust, forming tails as they approach the Sun. Meteoroids are smaller fragments that can originate from both asteroids and comets. All three types can have orbits that bring them close to Earth's path.
What causes asteroids meteoroids and comets to orbit the sun?
Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets orbit the Sun due to the gravitational pull between these celestial bodies and the Sun. Their orbits are influenced by their initial velocity, mass, and distance from the Sun. When they come close to Earth, they can be observed as shooting stars or meteor showers.
Where does a meoroid came from?
Meteoroids originate from various sources, primarily from comets and asteroids. When comets approach the sun, they shed dust and debris, which can form meteoroids. Additionally, collisions between asteroids can break off fragments, creating meteoroids that travel through space. These small bodies can eventually enter Earth's atmosphere, where they become meteors or meteorites if they reach the ground.
What space objects are made of chunks of rock?
Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are space objects that are made of chunks of rock. Asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the Sun within the asteroid belt, meteoroids are smaller rocky fragments that travel through space, and comets are a mixture of rock, dust, ice, and frozen gases.
What are pieces of dust and debris from asteroids and comets called?
it is called elements i am absolutely positive. Or they may actually be calledAsteroids.See: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroidwatch/asteroids-comets.cfm,accessed Tu 26 Mar 2013
What two objects produce meteorites?
comets and asteroids
Which of these hit the earth comets or asteroids?
It is possible for comets and asteroids to hit Earth, but they are extremely rare events.
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.
