How is the composition of a meteorite relevant to finding out the composition of earths core?
meteorites are considered leftovers from the solar system's formation. Since scientists think planets and meteorites were made at the same time and in the same place, it seems logical that whatever a meteorite is made of is also what planets are made of.
What are small fragments that have entered the earths atmosphere and fallen to the surface?

How is the composition of a meteorite relevant to finding out the composition of the earths core?
Since the belief is that the Earth was formed by an enormous number of collisions of meteors, the iron would have collected at the core due to its mass. Many meteorites are about the same age as the solar system so they may resemble the material at the core.
What mineral accounts to 35 percent of the earths composition?
Silicon
What kind of meteorites are analogous in composition to Earths Core?
Simple answer: iron meteorites.
Why do scientist hypothesize use meteorites that hit the earth to provide evidence of composition of earths interior?
The carbonaceous meteorites represent the mantle of the Earth. Pallesite meteorites are composed of iron and olivine which represents the transition between the core and the mantle.
