Meteors can have more than one origin. They might be produced by collisions in the asteroid belt, they can also be fragments of comets, released when the comet is close to the sun and its ice is melting, or they could just be cosmic debris left over from the cloud of gas and dust from which the solar system originally condensed; it is not impossible that some meteors have even entered the solar system from interstellar space.

How do meteors get knocked out of the asteroid belt?
Meteors are rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up. They can originate from the asteroid belt through collisions, where the impact can knock them out of the asteroid belt's orbit and send them hurtling towards Earth. These celestial bodies become meteors once they enter Earth's atmosphere and create a bright streak of light as they burn up due to friction.
What is the orbital period of meteor?
The orbital period of a meteor depends on its origin, as meteors are typically fragments of comets or asteroids. When these fragments enter Earth's atmosphere and produce a visible streak of light, they are referred to as meteors, not in orbit around the Earth. However, the parent bodies, like comets, can have orbital periods ranging from a few years to thousands of years. For example, Halley's Comet has an orbital period of about 76 years.
Are comets meteors and asteroids named?
Many comets and many asteroids are named, though not all, particulary not all asteroids. As for meteors, as they happen in an instant when a piece of ice, dust, dirt or rock enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up and then they are gone, they are not named.
Is a comet and a meteor considered to be small planets?
No, comets and meteors are not considered to be small planets. Comets are simply considered to be comets, and meteors are simply considered to be meteors. (Meteors are asteroids that have entered the atmosphere.)
What is bigger meteor or asteroid?
Meteors are smaller fragments of asteroids or comets that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, causing a bright streak of light. Asteroids are larger rocky objects that orbit the sun. In general, asteroids are bigger than meteors.
What makes meteors so unique?
Meteors are pieces of asteroids or whole asteroids in the earths atmosphere only. Written By, Brainiocity
How do scientists classify asteroids and meteors?
Scientists classify asteroids primarily based on their location within the solar system, size, and composition. The main categories include the C-type (carbonaceous), S-type (silicaceous), and M-type (metallic) asteroids. Meteors, on the other hand, are classified based on their origin, such as meteoroids (small fragments from asteroids or comets) and their composition, which can be stony, iron, or stony-iron. When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and produce visible trails, they are referred to as meteors; if they survive and land on Earth, they are called meteorites.
Which can only be observed with a telescope asteroids meteors stars or planets?
Asteroids.
Do superstitions asteroids comets meteors have scientific basis in the Philippines?
Superstitions about asteroids, comets, and meteors have absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever.
do meteors and asteroids mean the same?
Not exactly. If small lumps of rock stay out in space, they are asteroids. If they enter the earth's atmosphere they are meteors.
Do meteors have cells?
No. Meteors are fragments of rock and/or metal entering the atmosphere.
What is the origin of comets asteroids and meteors?
The universe
What are meteors physical properties?
