What is the material content of a meteoroid?

Different meteors have different compositions, and some meteors are asteroid fragments, mainly made of rock.

There are also some meteors that are comet fragments, mostly made of ice (water, water vapor).

There are also some meteors that contain large amounts of metals, such as meteoric iron.

Meteors are particles of dust and solid blocks in interplanetary space. Meteoroids break into the Earth's atmosphere and burn against the atmosphere, producing light trails. If they are not burned up in the atmosphere, they are called "meteorites" or "meteorites" when they fall to the ground.

Meteoroids originally orbited the sun, and when they passed near the earth, they were affected by the gravitational pull of the earth and changed their orbit, thus entering the earth's atmosphere. There are several types of meteors: single meteors, fire meteors, and meteor showers. There is no law on the time and direction of the appearance of a single meteor, which is also called an occasional meteor.

Fire meteors are also occasional meteors, but they are very bright when they appear, like a fire dragon and may be accompanied by ** sounds, and some are even visible during the day. Many meteors radiate outward from a certain point in the starry sky (radiant), which is called a meteor shower. Meteorites are the remnants of the largest meteoroids in the solar system that have not completely burned up after breaking into the Earth's atmosphere, and they bring us a wealth of information about the formation and evolution of the celestial bodies in the solar system, and they are welcome guests.

The density of ordinary meteoroids is very low, about 1 20 of the density of water. Every day, billions or tens of billions of meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere, and their total mass can reach 20 tons.

The official definition developed by the International Astronomical Union is that of a solid particle orbiting in interplanetary space, smaller in size than an asteroid but larger than an atom or molecule.

Meteoroids, meteors, meteorites, are all detritus in the universe, but they have different names in different states. And in the meteor stage, it also produces ion tails, meteor dust or makes sounds and leaves traces of soot. Meteoroids are granular fragments in the solar system, which can range in size from dust to boulders. The larger ones are called asteroids, and the smaller ones are interstellar dust.

Meteoroids are particles in the solar system, ranging from dust and dust to boulders. The phase in which a meteoroid enters the atmosphere of the Earth (or other planet) and glows and is seen in its path is called a meteor. Many meteors come from the same direction and appear one after the other over a period of time, which is called a meteor shower.

The Royal Astronomical Society of the United Kingdom has proposed a clearer new definition: meteoroids are solid objects with diameters between 100 microns and 10 meters. In the classification of near-earth objects, larger objects with a diameter of up to 50 m are included in the definition.

Meteoroids: Defined by the International Astronomical Union as solid particles orbiting in interplanetary space, smaller in size than an asteroid but larger than an atom or molecule. The world's earliest meteoroid record appeared in China's "Bamboo Book Chronicles".
