"Radiation" is a pretty broad term; from a scientific and technical perspective, light and heat are forms of electromagnetic "radiation". So are gamma rays and X-rays; the difference is the frequency.
So a meteor radiates brightly in the "light" and "heat" areas of the spectrum. I'm not aware that any meteors have been "radioactive", but it's possible; radium, uranium and thorium are naturally occurring elements that are (as is every other element heavier than helium) created in the nuclear reaction in the cores of stars, and released into space when the star explodes as a nova or supernova. So it's almost certain that SOMEWHERE, SOMETIME, radioactive meteors have fallen to Earth. But it would be very rare.
What else can I help you with?
What is the main type electromagnetic radiation that makes up the solar radiation that reaches Earth?
Well techinichally it is just a radiation that comes from the sun and the readiation is a electromagnetic field
How is life on earth protected from the extreme conditions in space?
The earth is protected by the atmosphere which deflects some of the radiation that comes from the sun.
Why do tidal nuclear and geothermal energy do not depend on the sun.?
Tidal energy comes from the energy of Earth's rotation. This is unrelated to the Sun's radiation. Nuclear energy comes from elements that are available on Earth - it doesn't depend on the Sun's radiation either. Geothermal energy comes from these same elements, which gradually decay, keeping Earth's interior hot.

Geothermal energy comes from these same elements, which gradually decay, keeping Earth's interior hot.
What is the law for when a meteor moving in a straight path changes direction when it flies by earth?
It would not be going in a straight line because it would already be in orbit round the Sun. When it comes close to Earth it is then attracted by the Earth's gravity and this is a standard 3-body problem with the meteor under two forces. It could be solved numerically.
How does a meteor shower occur?
Meteor showers occur when a meteor comes too close to the earth and gets drawn in by the earth's gravity. The light you see trailing behind the meteor (shooting star) is Ice melting off of it from the sun's heat.
How does a meteor apperoch earth?
A meteoroid travels through the solar system. If it comes close enough to the earth then the earth's gravitational attraction will pull it towards the earth. If the meteoroid get pulled into the earth's atmosphere it becomes a meteor, and by this time it is already captured by earth's gravity.
Does ultraviolet radiation come to the earth?
Yes, It comes from the suns rays to the earth
What is An object called which comes from outer space burns and falls on earth producing crator?
a meteor
What happens to 70 percent of radiation that comes to earth?
It is absorbed.
Does earth emit ultraviolet radiation?
The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.
How meteor hits the earth?
While travelling through the solar system it comes near the earth and is captured by the earth's gravity. It is pulled towards the earth until they collide.
What is the movement of heat without matter to carry it is called what?
The movement of heat without matter to carry it is called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation from the sun to Earth.
What is the difference of a meteor and a earth grazing meteor?
A meteor is a lump of rock in space. When one of these pieces of rock comes close to the earth it may burn up in the atmosphere as a shooting star. An earth grazing meteor is a meteor that has come close enough to our atmosphere that it starts to burn up, but will still pass us by as the angle is too shallow. It will go back out into space having been deflected by earths gravity.
What meteor fell into earth?
meteor Chase
How does sunlight make Earth warm?
radiation from the sun comes onto earth it makes us warm
What is the term for a meteor that reaches the earth?
Meteor-ite.
