Question

If a planet is struck with a heavy meteorite, what would be the effect
on its speed of motion? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

They’re all related to the flashes of light called “shooting stars” sometimes seen streaking across the sky. But we call the same object by different names, depending on where it is.

Meteoroids are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. Think of them as “space rocks."

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 2

• There would be a loud noise
• Dust and other airborne particles would rise and block the sunlight
• This would lower the earth temperature
• If hit on water, there would be a massive tsunami

• It would have been a total human and environment disaster
