The average space rock that becomes a meteor is typically a fragment from a comet, or a shard thrown off when two asteroids collide.

What celestial objects can a meteoroid come from?

Most of the space rocks which eventually become meteoroids formed in space about the same time as the rest of the solar system did. Probably the most common meteoroids are remnants of comets; we know that several of the annual "meteor showers" are associated with known cometary orbits. Many meteoroids were fragments broken from asteroids when they have collided. And at least a couple of meteorites which have been discovered here on Earth are known to have come from Mars! Asteroid impacts on Mars have knocked rocks and dust completely off of Mars and into orbit around the Sun, where they have impacted the Earth.

Which is larger the meteor or a International Space Station?

Meteors come in a variety of sizes, so a comparison between the size of the International Space Station (which measures about 100 meters by 70 meters) and any meteor requires that the specific meteor be identified.

What is the cause of a meteor?

Well, meteor's are just pieces of debris or a solid object moving in space. Normally, meteor's come about due to some sort of collision. Our own moon for example, is thought to be the left over debris of when our planet earth (very early on in its existence obviously) had a cataclysmic crash with another extra terrestrial body. So, altogether, meteor's can be summed up as the collision of two solid bodies or anything related. Hope this helps!! Kroshak

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.
