What is the meaning of the word ' metorite '?
The stone left by a meteor after it reaches the ground. (Most meteors burn up completely before reching the ground.)
What planet is known as a shooting star?
A meteor that's what it is
Which of these refers to smaller pieces of celestial debris that have entered a planet's atmosphere?
meteor
Do meteors rotate?
Yes, meteors can rotate as they travel through the Earth's atmosphere. This rotation can be caused by irregularities in the meteor's shape or by external forces acting upon it, such as air resistance. The rotation can affect the meteor's trajectory and how it breaks up or disintegrates.
What forces are acting on the meteor?
The primary forces acting on a meteor as it travels through space and enters a planet's atmosphere include gravitational force, which pulls it toward the planet, and aerodynamic drag, which opposes its motion as it encounters air resistance. Additionally, if the meteor is large enough, it may experience structural forces due to the stresses from rapid deceleration as it moves through denser atmospheric layers. These forces can lead to fragmentation and heating, contributing to the meteor's eventual disintegration or impact.
What is the hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting the planet?
Impact crater is one term for the hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting the planet.
What is a hole in the ground caused by a a a a meteor hitting planet?
a crater.
A hole in the ground caused by the meteor hitting a planet?
It is called a crater.(:
What is a hole in the ground caused due to meteor hitting a planet?
The hole is known as a crater.
A hole in the groud caused by a meteor hitting a planet?
A solid object hitting the ground with the force of a meteor would leave a crater, a depression in the ground with a raised edge at the surface, similar to Meteor Crater in Arizona.
What is a hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting a planet?
The impact hole left in the Earth or any planet would be a crater.
What is a hole in the ground caused a meteor hitting a planet?
The impact hole left in the Earth or any planet would be a crater.
What is the hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting a planet?
The hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting a planet is called an impact crater. These craters are formed when a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet collides with the surface of a planet or moon, creating a bowl-shaped depression. The size of the impact crater depends on the size and speed of the impacting object.
Is the earths lithosphere the rigid outer shell of the planet?
Yes, the Earth's lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the planet that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
Has a meteor destroyed a planet?
No. If you're wondering about the asteroid belt, there was never a planet there in the first place; Jupiter's gravity kept one from ever forming. Meteors, properly speaking, couldn't destroy a planet anyway.
What are craters on a planet?
Craters are where a chunk of space debris, such as a meteor or comet, has struck the surface of the planet and has caused material from the planets (or moons) surface to be ejected outwards.
What is caused when a meteor hits the surface of a planet?
An explosion. Sometimes, depending on the surface of the planet, it leaves a crater. (75% of Earth is covered with water, and considerable areas of Saturn's moon Titan appear to be covered with some sort of liquid.)
