How does meteorite collision happen?

what happens is say a meteorite is orbiting, something would have to knock it of it's orbit and then even a small meteorite say the size of a tennis ball could destroy half of say, France but it would make a huge downfall of society been as though the flying debris would block out the sun. And the sun being blocked out would stop all crops growing and the animals would die and the people of France would practically die with no food or water whatsoever.


What is the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back to the atmosphere or directly into plants again?

The transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back occurs through a process called nitrogen fixation. This can happen through the action of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen gas into a form that plants can use. Once plants assimilate this nitrogen, it can be returned to the atmosphere through processes like denitrification or can be transferred to other organisms through the food chain.


What are meteor and meteorites?

A meteoroid is a space rock drifting through space, not bothering anybody. When a meteoroid gets too close to the Earth, it gets caught in Earth's gravity and starts to burn up from the heat of friction as the meteoroid streaks through the atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour or more, and glows white-hot as it falls. If it doesn't burn up completely, the space rock that lands on the Earth is called a "meteorite". Hundreds of meteorites are found on Earth every year. Scientists like to study their structure, because they may be remnants from the formation of the solar system. Some meteorites are actually believed to be rocks that were part of Mars or the Moon before some larger meteor or asteroid crashed into the Moon or Mars and splashed martian rocks back into space!


What would happen to an object in orbit around planets if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?

The object would crash into the planet.


Does belguese have any moons?

A star can have planets, those planets can have moons: that's the heirarchy. Actually Betelgeuse is a red giant, which means that any planets it might have had are likely to have been swallowed up as the star expanded, which is what will happen to the Earth when the Sun swells up. But it won't happen for the next few billion years.

What causes a meteoroid to enter earths atmosphere?

Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere when they collide with Earth's gravitational field as they travel through space. The speed and angle at which a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere determine whether it will burn up as a meteor or hit the surface as a meteorite.

Can shooting stars go into a star?

No. So-called shooting stars or falling stars, are just bits of dirt, debris or dust that enter our atmosphere and burn up. They look like stars as they fly through our atmosphere, hence the names, though they are called meteors. Sometimes they will get through our atmopshere and land on Earth, when they are known as a meteoroid. That could never happen on a star. A star is much hotter than our atmosphere, so any dirt, debris or dust in space would be burnt up long before they reach the star, so could never go right into it.
