What are the different kinds of meteors?

Answer 1

Most meteorites are stony meteorites, divided into the chondrites (containing small round particles) and the achondrites (lacking these particles). Others are the more rare, metallic meteorites.

A small number (about 5%) of meteorites have both stony and metallic features, and these are referred to as "stony-iron" meteorites, which contain iron, nickel, and/or silicates.

Another meteoric form is tektites, containing volcanic-type glasses formed from the high temperatures before and after impact.

Answer 2

There are three main types of meteors: iron, stony-iron, and stony. Iron meteors are primarily composed of iron and nickel. Stony-iron meteors have roughly equal amounts of rock and iron-nickel. Stony meteors are made up of silicates and other minerals.

Answer 3

There are only meteors and meteoriods
