Answer 1

Answer:

star is a giant spherical ball of plasma. Furthermore, all the stars that we can see (apart from our Sun) are so far away that they appear to us as perfect little dots. The answer to why we draw stars as pointy objects, is because our eyes actually see them as having points.

What is a meteorite? How does it help the scientists?

• ⇛A meteor glows and evaporates quickly as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. Some meteors are large and so they can reach the Earth before they evaporate completely. The body which reaches the Earth is called a meteorite. Meteorites help scientists in investigating the nature of the material from which the solar system was formed.
