A small number of meteorites have been shown to be of Lunar (23 finds) or Martian (22) origin.
However, nearly all meteoroids seem to originate from the early stages of the formation of the solar system.
They have been described as part of the "builders' rubble" left after the formation of the planets.
Meteroids are mainly made up of molten metals. A meteroid starts out as a cosmic particle and as it travels through space, it attracts other metals. Since most metals in space are magnetic, each layer attracts a different metal or mineral. Meteroids can have 100's of layers - some are just centimeters thick - while others are up to a meter or more thick. It can take 100's of years to form a big meteoid. Also, there could be a part of a planet that experienced supernova which caused a chunk of it to blast out into the space. Such chunks can be small, the size of a Baseball or as big as a city.
A meteoroid is a chunk of rock or dust in space!
Meteoroids are chunks of rock in space. Once they pass through the atmosphere and land, then they are classified as meteors or meteorites.
The definition of meteoroid is a small boy that moves in the solar system. In the event that this body would enter the earth's atmosphere, it becomes a meteor.
you should now
giant rocks ( debri ) in the solor system
It is a rock
No.
Meteroids' can be very big or very small. There is no exact size of a meteroid.
one is in space and the other is the earth atmophere
a meteroid or comet i think
Air heated to incandescence.
Meteroid orbits are random. Much like a comet.
No.
Meteroids' can be very big or very small. There is no exact size of a meteroid.
in space
Their speeds vary.
A meteroid is a natural object in space. A meteroid can enter the atmosphere and become a meteor. If its remains strike the ground and survive, it is a meteorite.
dust & rock
depends how big it is...
Ambient temperature.
Any surviving meteroid piece found on a planets suface becomes a meteorite.
The atmosphere of the earth.
i tink it is a meteroid
