Why do meteors not move in an orbit?
Meteors are pieces of rocky or metallic material that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction. They do not move in an orbit like a satellite because they do not have the velocity needed to stay in orbit around Earth. Instead, they move in a trajectory that intersects with Earth's atmosphere.
What objects approach the earth very closely?
meteors pass through earth's atmosphere and if they are large enough to not burn up they hit the earth becoming meteorites, that is about as close as is possible
Why meteors are not revolve around the earth like the moon when they come close to earth?

What is used to track meteors?
Communications satellites are used to track meteors to warn us if a meteor will hit Earth.

Meteors direction of orbit?
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
Do meteors fall quickly to earth?

What are the similarities between asteroids and meteors?
Asteroids and meteors are made up of rocks or ice.All cannot be seen without a telescope (Only comet has exception to that whenever it's orbit comes close to Earth such as Hailey's comet.
Why can't meteors fall on earth?
They do fall on the Earth.
Are meteors extinct?
No, meteors are not extinct. Meteors are commonly seen in the Earth's atmosphere as shooting stars when they burn up upon entry. They are remnants of debris from space that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
Do all meteors impact on Earth's surface?
Not all meteors impact the surface of the earth. Many burn up in the atmosphere prior to impact. The majority of meteors that do reach the earth's surface usually impact desolate regions.
