i believe in superstition because it helps us to be learn more but i think with scientific basis......
Superstitious beliefs surrounding comets, meteors, and asteroids often view these celestial events as omens or harbingers of significant change. In many cultures, comets were seen as bad omens, signaling disasters, wars, or the death of leaders. Conversely, meteors, sometimes referred to as "shooting stars," were often thought to grant wishes or symbolize good fortune. Asteroids, while less steeped in historical superstition, have occasionally been linked to apocalyptic prophecies or cosmic warnings.
Actions we could take to promote a more scientific understanding of comets, asteroids, and meteors would start with education. Educate more in schools, colleges, television, and movies.
In China, superstitions surrounding asteroids, comets, and meteors often stem from ancient beliefs that link celestial events to earthly happenings, such as natural disasters or changes in leadership. While these beliefs lack a scientific basis, they reflect cultural interpretations of the cosmos. Modern astronomy attributes these phenomena to natural processes, like gravitational interactions and the solar system's dynamics, rather than omens or portents. Therefore, while there is no scientific basis for the superstitions, they do highlight the historical interplay between culture and science in China.

If something is considered a "superstition", that means it is UNSCIENTIFIC. Once there is evidence that something is true, it will no longer be generally considered a superstition.
Superstitions in the Philippines regarding comets, asteroids, and meteors do not have a scientific basis. Comets, asteroids, and meteors are celestial bodies that have been studied extensively by astronomers and scientists. They are composed of rock and metal and pose no inherent danger to people on Earth. Superstitions surrounding these phenomena are based on myths and folklore rather than scientific evidence.
Superstitions about asteroids, comets, and meteors have absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever.

Meteors are pieces of asteroids or whole asteroids in the earths atmosphere only. Written By, Brainiocity
Superstitions about comets, asteroids, and meteors often stem from historical interpretations of celestial events as omens or signs, rather than scientific evidence. While these astronomical phenomena can influence Earth through impacts or climatic changes, the superstitions themselves lack a scientific basis. Instead, they reflect cultural beliefs and fears that have evolved over time. In contemporary science, comets and asteroids are understood through physics and astronomy, providing explanations that dispel many of the myths surrounding them.
Asteroids.
You are confusing a couple of concepts. NO superstitious belief has a scientific basis. If a belief is scientifically based, there is no need to call it a superstition. If a belief is superstitious it is by definition not verifiable scientifically. However, there are superstitions that result from some real events. Total eclipses of the sun are real, and they are explainable in completely natural terms. However, people at different times in history have superstitious beliefs about what is happening during an eclipse, and superstitious beliefs that performing certain rituals or prayers during an eclipse will save the world from doom. So, a superstition is an irrational belief usually connected to some magical ritual that will ward off disaster, and some superstitions have to do with real events in the world. But the superstitions themselves are not based in or verified by the real world.
Not exactly. If small lumps of rock stay out in space, they are asteroids. If they enter the earth's atmosphere they are meteors.

The physical properties of the meteors are that they are rocky and parts of other asteroids.
In primitive times, meteors were looked upon as messengers of the gods, variously interpreted as the coming of famine, war and other misfortunes. More recently they are seen as omens of good luck, hence the wish made on a shooting star.
