Which planet is slightly smaller than the Earth's core?
Mercury is slightly smaller then the Earths Core. Mercury is believed to have been struck by a planet sized object billions of years ago which blew away everything but the core of the planet.(If Pluto was still a planet, Pluto would also be smaller than the Earth's core, but it was demoted to the status of a dwarf planet.)
Why is it important to stay inside during a thunderstorm?
It is important to stay inside during a thunderstorm to avoid the risk of being struck by lightning, which can be life-threatening. Also, being indoors protects you from strong winds, heavy rain, and flying debris that can cause injury.

What are craters on a planet?
Craters are where a chunk of space debris, such as a meteor or comet, has struck the surface of the planet and has caused material from the planets (or moons) surface to be ejected outwards.
What planet has scraps on its surface?
Mercury has a surface that contains scraps. These scraps are likely remnants of impacts from asteroids and comets that have struck the planet over its history.
Pieces of rock that strike the surface of a moon or planet?
These are meteoroids, small pieces of rock debris in space. They enter the earths atmosphere at high speeds, burning up brightly as shooting stars for a brief period due to the friction against the gas in the atmosphere - at this point they are referred to as meteors. If any surviving pieces are found on the surface, they are called meteorites. Since the moon has no atmosphere, meteoroids are able to survive the decent more easily, since there is no gas to cause them to burn up through friction.
Are there meteorites on the moon?
yes. The craters you see with the naked eye looking at the moon are from meteors striking the moon. meteorites are what is left of a meteor that has already struck a large body (such as a planet or moon)
Was there any damage where the pieces where found from the challenger space shuttle?
All ofChallenger's debris landed into the ocean just off the Kennedy Space Center. No one on the surface was struck.
Explain the various stages in the formation of the moon?
The most widely accepted theory for the formation of the Moon is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. According to this theory, a Mars-sized object collided with the early Earth, causing debris to be ejected into space. This debris eventually coalesced to form the Moon. The stages include the impact event itself, the formation of a debris disk around the Earth, and the accretion of this material to form the Moon.

What is the main death cause by a tornado?

What strikes the poles?
The poles are struck by lightning, as they are tall structures that can attract electrical discharges from thunderstorms. Additionally, poles can be struck by debris during severe weather events such as hurricanes or tornadoes.
