Best Answer

The trapped gases identify the meteorites as Martian in the first place, because their abundance closely matches the gases identified by probes on Mars.

The gas composition would also be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere (and possibly the planetary crust) at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could also give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.

Why do air balloons rise when heated air is trapped inside the balloon?

Warm air is heavier than cold air so it rises up.


What is the meteoroids meteors meteorites distance from the sun?

most meteoroids originate in the asteroid belt (but they can come from anywhere, including the Oort Cloud which is well beyond Pluto) and follow extremely elliptical orbits that can carry them in closer than the orbit of Mercury then back out to where they came fromall meteors are inside the Earth's atmosphere (for a few seconds to minutes, from when a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, becoming a meteor until it either burns up or hits the surface, becoming a meteorite) and are thus as far from the Sun as the Earth isall meteorites landed on the Earth and are thus as far from the Sun as the Earth is


Why does a hot air balloon begin to rise when heated air is trapped inside it?

The hot air makes it bouyant because it's less dense than the colder air around it. Also it is bouyed up by a force equal to the air it displaces.
