Meteorite
When a meteor reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
the small size of the meteoroid will cause it to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere due to friction and intense heat generated during entry. It will disintegrate and turn into small fragments known as meteorites before reaching the Earth's surface.
When a meteoroid is 75 km above earth's surface, it is within the troposphere.

A stone entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction and heat, it is then called a meteor or shooting star. If any portion of the meteoroid reaches the Earth's surface, it is known as a meteorite.
a meteor that hit Earth without burning up in the mesosphere is called meteoroid
A meteoroid that reaches the Earth's surface without burning up completely is called a meteorite. When these space rocks enter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce a bright streak of light known as a meteor or "shooting star," but if they survive the intense heat and pressure and land on Earth, they are classified as meteorites. Meteorites can vary in size and composition, providing valuable information about the early solar system.
A meteoroid that reaches Earth's surface without completely burning up is called a meteorite. Meteorites are chunks of rock or metal from space that survive their journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface.

When a meteor reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
A bright streak of light produced by a meteoroid burning up in the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. Commonly referred to as a "shooting star," this phenomenon occurs when the meteoroid enters the atmosphere at high speed, causing it to heat up and emit light as it vaporizes. If the meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
A meteoroid that reaches Earth's surface without burning up is called a meteorite. These space rocks enter the Earth's atmosphere and may survive the intense heat and pressure during their descent. If they are large enough or composed of materials that withstand the friction of atmospheric entry, they can land on Earth intact. Meteorites provide valuable scientific information about the solar system and the early processes that formed it.

A rock that strikes Earth's surface is known as a meteoroid. Once it enters the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite.
the small size of the meteoroid will cause it to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere due to friction and intense heat generated during entry. It will disintegrate and turn into small fragments known as meteorites before reaching the Earth's surface.
A meteoroid that reaches Earth's surface is called a meteorite. Meteorites are fragments of asteroids or comets that survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface. Scientists study meteorites to learn more about the composition and history of our solar system.
