The temperature of a meteoroid can vary greatly depending on its distance from the sun and its size. In space, the temperature can be extremely low, near absolute zero. However, when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, friction with air molecules can cause it to heat up rapidly, sometimes reaching temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
