Shoemaker-Levy 9
No, Apollo 11 did not get hit by a meteor during its mission to the Moon in 1969. The spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon and then returned safely to Earth without encountering any meteor impacts.
Yes, every day. Most of them are pretty small; the average meteor that you see in the sky is the size of a grain of rice or smaller. Bigger one do land occasionally. But about 15000 years ago, there's evidence that a fairly large meteor, or comet, or asteroid, DID hit northern Canada, which may have caused the "Younger Dryas" mini-ice age. The extinction of the woolly mammoth appears to have happened at about the same time, and also the disappearance of the pre-Indian "Clovis people" who seem to have been the only humans on the North American continent at the time.
Some of the most famous asteroid or meteor craters include the Chicxulub crater in Mexico, linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs, the Barringer Crater (Meteor Crater) in Arizona, USA, and the Tunguska event in Siberia, Russia. These impact sites have provided valuable insights into the history of our planet and the impacts of celestial objects.
A meteor tail is called a "meteor trail" or "meteor streak." It is the glowing path left behind as a meteoroid travels through Earth's atmosphere.
The son of Jupiter in Roman mythology is Hercules, also known as Heracles in Greek mythology. He is a famous hero known for his incredible strength and legendary adventures.
Yes.
a meteor was hit there and it caused a bend in the river
Beetween Mars and Jupiter and outside of Neptune
There isn't really any differences they are the same thing except an asteroid is MUCH MUCH bigger than a meteor, an asteroid is what killed off the dinos along time ago not a meteor. So say Jupiter and Pluto were a meteor, and a asteroid, Pluto wouold be the meteor and Jupiter would be the asteroid
a peanut.. if you took all the planets in the solar system and added them together they would not equal the mass of Jupiter, so by comparsion a meteor to Jupiter is like the earth to the sun. insignificant!
One in Arizona i don't know whats its called but i really need to know for my test!
No. A meteor that gets to the ground is a meteoroid. An Asteroid is an orbiting body between Mars ans Jupiter.
Any meteor or comet will burn up in Jupiter's incredibly thick atmosphere.
A meteor.
Yes
A meteor hit the Earth in the Ural mountains of Russia, near the city of Chelyabinsk, in February 2013.
Meteor Crater is near Winslow, Arizona.
