Explanation:

Answer:A meteoroid is a chunk of space rock. If it burns up while entering the Earth’s atmosphere it’s called a meteor and if a piece lands, it’s called a meteorite.

Millions of meteoroids travel through the Earth’s atmosphere every day, but most are small and burned up quickly. Very few reach the ground.

When a meteoroid hits the atmosphere of the Earth, they can be travelling as fast as 130,000 mph (209,215 km).

The blast caused by the shockwaves of the Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia was picked up by infrasound sensors on the other side of the world. Below is a video of that meteor.

The buying and selling of meteorite pieces in South Africa is illegal.

A meteorite that is seen or detected as it lands are called “falls”, with those that are discovered later being referred to as “finds”.

Meteoroids more than 10 metres in diameter are classified as asteroids.

Of the 500 estimated meteorites that reach the ground every year, only five or six are recovered for scientists to study.
