Meteoroids are small objects in space, usually made of rock or metal. These bodies often get close to a planet and fall through its atmosphere. A burning streak of light, called a ,{ ASTEROID, COMET, METEOR, METEOROID } is visible as it falls through the sky. Sometimes the object does not burn up completely and a part of it survives the fall to the planet’s surface. These rocky bodies, called { ASTEROID, COMET, METEOR, METEOROID } , are studied by scientists to gain a better understanding of our solar system.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. A burning streak of light, called a Meteor.

2.The rocky bodies that survives the fall to the planet’s surface are Meteorites.

Explanation:

Let us see the difference between them.  

  1. Asteroids: They are the remnants of a broken planet orbiting the sun in between Mars and Saturn.  They are small rocky bodies from a tennis ball size to larger ones weighing a few tones.
  2. Meteoroids: They are the small rocky objects of pebble size formed due to the collision of asteroids.
  3. Meteors: These are pebble size objects that enter Earth's atmosphere and burns off by forming streaks of light.
  4. Meteorites: These are rocky objects bigger than meteors than don't burn out completely and fall on the earth's surface.
  5. Comets:  These are objects mainly made of dust and ice that orbit the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. This composition makes a long tail when approaching the sun.
