Answer» ▪︎When meteoroids ENTER Earth's ATMOSPHERE (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid SURVIVES a trip through the atmosphere and hits the GROUND, it's called a METEORITE. Answer: ▪︎Compare and contrast a meteoroid, meteor, and meteorite. A meteoroid is a small solid particle that travels through space, if they burn up in earth's atmosphere they are called meteor. A meteoroid that actually reaches Earth's surface is called a meteorite. |
