Why do people call asteroids meteors and comets space trashor debris?

People often refer to asteroids, meteors, and comets as space trash or debris because they are remnants from the formation of the solar system that are no longer part of a larger celestial body. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun, meteors are asteroids that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, and comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the sun. These objects can be considered "trash" in the sense that they are leftover material floating in space.


Have any asteroids hit the space station?

No, the International Space Station has not been hit by any asteroids. The station is equipped with shielding and tracking systems to help avoid potential collisions with space debris or asteroids. Additionally, precautions are taken to maneuver the station if a potential threat is detected.

Why is it always dark in space?

We can only see light from what it's reflected off (planets, objects, the moon, things on Earth), or directly emitted from, such as stars including our sun. Space is a vacuum, and therefore is literally just space, so that space can't be hit by light, and can't reflect it.


What layer of the earth has shooting stars and meteorites?
