What effects do meteors have in space?
A meteor is the streak of light you see in the night sky from a asteroid or meteroid hitting the atmosphere. It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space. However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.
Where is a meteroid typically found?
in space
