Explanation:
Meteorites have several properties that help distinguish them from other rocks:
Density: Meteorites are usually quite heavy for their size, since they contain metallic iron and dense minerals.
Magnetic: Since most meteorites contain metallic iron, a magnet will often stick to them. For “stony” meteorites, a magnet might not stick, but if you hang the magnet by a string, it will be attracted.
Unusual shape: iron-nickel meteorites are rarely rounded. Instead, they have an irregular shape with unusual pits like fingerprints on their surface called “regmaglypts.”
Fusion crust: stony meteorites typically have a thin crust on their surface where it melted as it passed through the atmosphere.
Meteorites do NOT have the following:
Light-colored crystals: Quartz is a common, light-colored crystal in Earth’s crust, but it is not found on other bodies in the solar system.
Bubbles: volcanic rocks or metallic slag on Earth often have bubbles or vesicles in them, but meteorites do not.
Streak: if you scratch a meteorite on an unglazed ceramic surface, it should not leave a streak. A dense rock that leaves a black or red streak probably contains the iron minerals magnetite or hematite, respectively, neither of which are typically found in meteorites.
