Why did the moon get hit by a meteorites?
The early days of the solar system were much like a demolition derby of meteoroids slamming into other bodies. Earth was pummeled just as severely as the moon was, but earth has weather - which softens and erodes the craters over time. The moon, with no weather, keeps it's many craters intact.
How many syllables are in the word meteorites?
There are four syllables in the word meteorites. Me-te-or-ites.
How many meteorites are formed to make saturns ring?
None. Saturn's rings are not made up of meteorites. See related question below.
Surface processes do you think is the most common in the solar system?
Erosion through wind and water is a common surface process in the solar system, particularly on Earth and Mars. Impact cratering from asteroids and meteorites also shapes the surfaces of many planetary bodies.
Why are the craters on the moon all perfectly circular?
It can not be because the moon has no atmosphere or gravity....in fact many craters would then have a parabolical shape because all meteorites can not impact with the moon at an exact vertical angle. So why can it be? It is because the theories of the moon being part of a very young earth is simply not true. Earth with it's much stronger gravitational pull should attract far more meteorites away from the moon, had this been the case. Also, the moon, being so close to earth, is protected by the earth from meteorite strikes directly in line with the earth. Earth's gravity would not allow meteorites to hit the moon directly behind it. Missing earth, the meteorites will definitely not impact with the moon directly behind earth. Many craters are on the side of the moon facing earth, so how did these meteorites get past earth to stirke the moon exactly face on? Remember that the moon is in terms of the universe, very close to earth therefore earth is shielding the moon against many many meteorite strikes from directly behind earth itself. Sorry, but I can not answer this question!
Is it true that only three or four meteorites reach earths surface each year?
No it is not true. Many, many meteorites reach the earth's surface.
Why do huge craters exist on the surface of mercury?
This mostly happened due to many meteorites and comets bombarding the surface of the planet.
Why are there so many meteorites found at the South Pole?
The meterorites stay on the top of the ice and there are no animals and humans to disturb them. They stick out because there are few other rocks on the surface.
Why do you think the Earth does not have as many meteorites as the moon?
because it caused crater
How many meteorites on neptune?
Neptune, being a gas giant with a thick atmosphere, does not have a solid surface like terrestrial planets, making it unlikely for meteorites to land there as we understand it. While it is possible for small particles from space to enter Neptune's atmosphere, they would likely burn up before reaching any solid surface. Thus, there are no known meteorites on Neptune itself.

What can mercury surface be compared with?
Mercuries surface has many craters on it and its surface temp can reach 590k!!
How many meteorites have miss the earth from crashing?
500 meteorites have missed the earth from crashing

Are all meteorites magnetic?
Meteorites fall into two classes, stony and iron. There is a belt of meteoric material near Mars, from which many of our meteorites come. Perhaps the debris from a broken planet? The iron meteorites, in fact iron-nickel mixtures, are magnetic. the stony meteorites are not. Have a look for Bode's Law in a reference source.
The remains of extraterrestial particles that are found on Earth's surface is called?
Extraterrestrial particles found on Earth's surface are known as micrometeorites. These tiny fragments originate from comets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies that enter Earth's atmosphere and settle on the planet's surface. Scientists study micrometeorites to learn more about the composition and history of our solar system.
What element is commonly found in meteorites?
Iron is commonly found in meteorites, specifically in the form of iron-nickel alloys like kamacite and taenite. These metals make up a significant portion of many meteorites, particularly those known as iron meteorites.
