It most likely would not be the Earth's gravitational pull. More like the meteor was already shooting towards the Earth or near it enough to head to us. In that case, the Earth's gravity plus the meteor's speed minus the inverse force of the atmosphere equal if it would come down or not. Other than all of that, the poles of the Earth's magnetic force is what pulls meteors in, not the gravity, although it does help. :/
What else can I help you with?
What is used to track meteors?
Communications satellites are used to track meteors to warn us if a meteor will hit Earth.
Why do asteroids comets and meteors fall suddenly?
Asteroids, comets, and meteors fall suddenly towards Earth due to gravitational forces. When they come within range of Earth's gravity, they are pulled in, causing them to fall towards the planet at high speeds. Additionally, factors like orbital dynamics and collisions in space can also contribute to their sudden approach.
Why does the moon orbit us?
because the earth's gravity is pulling the moon towards itself just like earth gets pulled by the sun with the help of its gravity
Does a meteor come from deep inside earth?
No, meteors do not come from deep inside the Earth. Meteors are space rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating streaks of light in the sky. Some meteors that survive and land on Earth's surface are known as meteorites.
What is a large rock in outer space called?
... compresses the air in front and around it so that the air glows and at night you see a "shooting star" - a meteor. If it impacts the ground before evaporating, it is a bolide and may leave a mineral remnant called a meteorite.
Why don't satellites get pulled towards the Earth's surface?
Satellites remain in orbit around the Earth due to a balance between the gravitational pull of the Earth and the satellite's velocity. The satellite's forward velocity allows it to continue moving tangentially to the Earth's surface, preventing it from being pulled towards the surface. This balance enables satellites to maintain their orbit without falling back to Earth.
What is used to track meteors?
Communications satellites are used to track meteors to warn us if a meteor will hit Earth.
What causes a satellites to be pulled to earth?
Gravity.
Meteors direction of orbit?
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
Are satellites in high earth orbit pulled to earth by gravity?
yes.
What are objects on earth pulled to?
Towards the Earth.
Why do asteroids comets and meteors fall suddenly?
Asteroids, comets, and meteors fall suddenly towards Earth due to gravitational forces. When they come within range of Earth's gravity, they are pulled in, causing them to fall towards the planet at high speeds. Additionally, factors like orbital dynamics and collisions in space can also contribute to their sudden approach.
What pulls satellites towards the center of the earth?
Gravity .
Why aren't satellites pulled to earth by gravity?
Satellites aren't pulled to Earth by gravity because they are in a state of free fall, traveling at a high tangential speed. This speed allows them to continuously "fall" around the Earth instead of directly towards it. The balance between their forward motion and the pull of gravity creates a stable orbit, keeping them at a consistent altitude rather than crashing back to the surface.
Why are planes pulled toward water?
They aren't. They are pulled towards the center of the earth, as are all objects on the surface of the earth.
What can be seen from Earth?
All sorts of things. The Sun, the Moon, planets, asteroids, meteors, galaxies, nebulas, satellites and other things.
Do All objects fall toward the center of the earth.?
All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.
