Yes they are. Every object that has mass follows the well known formulas

of gravity. Comets are no exception. Their orbits around the sun are perfectly

and completely described by the formulas of gravity.

What is the gravity of a meteor?

the results vary, since meteors are of all different sizes, but meteors have extremely little gravity.


Why do more meteors hit the moon than the earth?

More meteors hit the moon than the earth because the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the meteors before impact. Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective barrier, causing most meteors to disintegrate before reaching the surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere means more meteors make it to the surface, leaving more visible impact craters.


Do all meteors impact on Earth's surface?

Not all meteors impact the surface of the earth. Many burn up in the atmosphere prior to impact. The majority of meteors that do reach the earth's surface usually impact desolate regions.

What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?

The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".


Do meteors have satellites?

It is possible, but not likely. Meteors have relatively small masses, without a large gravity well. They tend to lose them because they are in motion.
