May meteorites originate from the Moon or Mars?

Answer 1

Again, people are answering questions on things that they know nothing about. To answer your question- YES. In fact several meteorite fragments have, over the years, been identified as originating from the very places that you mentioned. I have listed two Wiki sources below. If you want to read more just Google "lunar meteorites" and "martian meteorites."

I can't believe all the twits that are answering this question with a "No". This question isn't even debatable. Both lunar and martian meteorites have actually been identified and collected FOR YEARS. It just goes to show me that if you really need to know something DON'T TRUST "ANSWERS."

To all of you who answered "NO" do everyone a favor and never answer any questions ever agan!!!

Answer 2

The vast majority of asteroids are already out there floating around in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. In theory, if a large asteroid collided with the moon or with mars,new asteroids could be created. This seems even less likely after our experiences on the moon. It's pock-marked with asteroid strikes, but the strikes only cause craters. There's been no argument or proof of moon rocks becoming common asteroids.

It is a much better statement astronomically to state that the asteroid belt, mars, earth, venus, neptunre and all our moons probably originated from the same masses and forces present when our sun first when nuclear, spewing rocks into spatial orbits around itself, the third of which became, thanks be to God, our home, earth. God (or chance combined with natural law for some people) is the reason that after the explosion we have a favorable planet from which to speculate about the other stellar bodies around us.

Answer 3

Olympus Mons may once have erupted with sufficient force for some of the debris to achieve escape velocity, but that's doubtful, even with Mars' low surface gravity.The moon has so many impact craters it has not been possible to determine if it ever had a volcano. In the present, the answer is no, as neither presently shows any volcanic activity at all.

Answer 4

in any explosion, bits and fragments of particles get scattered evrywhere..

if an object collides wid da surface of mars or moon wid enuff energy to allow da scattered particles escape da gravity of mars/moon, da particles will act like meteorites.

Answer 5

The only way I see that happening is if one or the other exploded... or if something of sufficiant mass hit either object with enough force at a very limited angle so as to break off a chunk with enough momentum to escape the gravitational pull of its originating object.

No.

Answer 6

No, they are stable and their gravitational field will not let anything leave without a rocket.

They are pieces of the planet that was in the asteroid belt that make it to earth.
