The remaining matter of a meteorite consists of the solid material that survives its passage through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface. This material can include a variety of minerals, metals, and sometimes organic compounds, depending on the meteorite's classification (e.g., stony, iron, or stony-iron). The composition provides valuable insights into the early solar system and the processes that formed planetary bodies.
