No. The meteor would vaporize before hitting the Sun, and the vapor would be carried away by the solar wind. Even very large asteroids or comets are minuscule in size compared to the mass of the Sun.

What do you call a meteoroid that hits Earth's surface?

"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite. A meteor is the steak of light we see acrss the sky, which can be part of a comet, a meteoroid, an asteroid, or any other interplanetary debris we may see from earth. However, a meteor is the larger part that can be seen, but not the actual portion that hits the earth. (Source: Astonomy Today, 6th edition by Chassion & McMillan)


What is left when stars explode?

When smaller stars explode (like our Sun), they leave a nebula cloud by releasing their gas and they become a small but dense white dwarf star.When big stars explode (like Betelgeuse), they have a massive explosion called a supernova and the core of the star turns into a black hole or a pulsar.


The Earth's provides protection from meteorite impacts by causing them to?

burn up in its atmosphere due to the friction and heat generated during entry. This process, known as atmospheric entry, causes the meteorite to disintegrate or explode before reaching the Earth's surface, reducing the impact damage.
