What is a meteoroid?
Meteoroid is a body in space that is larger than a grain of dust but smaller than an asteroid, with meteoroids that are potentially roughly boulders. Some meteoroids are in orbit around different celestial bodies and others move through the universe until they fall into orbit or do not become an object that can move from the planet to the spacecraft. If the meteoroid reaches through the Earth's atmosphere and can hit the ground, it is known as a meteorite.
When a meteoroid hits the atmosphere, it generates a bright strip of light caused by evaporation of solids and gases. This light strip can be very valuable for physics because spectral light analysis provides information about the composition of the meteoroid. The meteoroid content usually evaporates as it moves through the atmosphere, but sometimes part of it survives to hit the ground, often creates a small impact crater. They fall more like stars that fall out of the sky. This is not technically accurate; If the star fell on the ground, of course, if such a thing was possibleá, the country would not survive a collision. In addition, many people enjoy the views of the stars and look for phenomena such as meteoroids and pass comets at night when the sky is clear. Stargazer with sharp eyes may notice a large number, especially during the meteor showers, when hundreds can hit the Earth's atmosphere within hours.
In addition to being an interest for people who like to look at the beginning, meteoroids are also valuable to scientists. Spectral analysis is performed to learn more about where these pieces of material come from and when you can get a meteorite, other studies can be performed to learn more about it. In some cases, the meteoroid is as a free rock sample from another Plassical, Moon or other heavenly body and can provide a large amount of information.
especially remarkable meteorite can be maintained for displaying in the museum. Many end up with scientific institutions thatThey are studying and maintaining meteorite collections to create a library of material for research and comparison. Some people also maintained the meteorites they had encountered, although lay lay people sometimes confuse tectes with meteorites; The tectites are actually from the country, but during the collision they will melt and later solidify, sometimes deceive people to think they come from space because they are found almost the craters and look unusual.
