Mark as BRAINLIEST.
1.) A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to one-meter-wide objects
2.) When a meteoroid, comet, or asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere at a speed typically in excess of 20 km/s (72,000 km/h; 45,000 mph), aerodynamic heating of that object produces a streak of light, both from the glowing object and the trail of glowing particles that it leaves in its wake.
3.) An estimated 25 million meteoroids, micrometeoroids and other space debris enter Earth's atmosphere each day,[8] which results in an estimated 15,000 tonnes of that material entering the atmosphere each year.
Explanation:
●A meteoroid is a chunk of space rock.
●Millions of meteoroids travel through the Earth's atmosphere every day, but most are small and burned up quickly. ...
●When a meteoroid hits the atmosphere of the Earth, they can be travelling as fast as 130,000 mph (209,215 km).
