information about meterors?

Question

meter shower

Answer 1

meteors fly through space, though they don't really fly because you need atmosphere to fly. But when they enter our atmosphere and cause a meteor "shower" I guess then they art flying, though really they are falling. Ok, so we have learned that meteors don't fly, they fall. When a bunch of them get together and have too much to drink they fall through our atmosphere causing what we call a meteor shower.

Answer 2

It would have been better if you'd actually asked a question.

What is it you want to know, exactly?

Meteors are bits of rock in space that hit the Earth's atmosphere, and therefore burn up.

They are also known as shooting stars, though this is a misnomer.

If they are big enough to not burn up completely and land on Earth, they are called meteorites.

While they're still in space, they are called meteoroids.

We have meteor showers because there is a ring of little rocks and bits orbiting the sun in an orbit that intersects our orbit.

When we go through those patches, we get a lot of dust and sand-sized (and occasionally bigger bits) hitting our atmosphere and burning up.

Hope that answered whatever question you had.

Answer 3

A meteor shower, also known as a "meteor storm," is a celestial event where a large number of meteors are seen within a very short period. These meteors are small fragments of cosmic debris entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speed, leaving a streak of light that very quickly disappears. Most of the small fragments of cosmic debris are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all fragments are burnt up and never hit the earth's surface. Fragments which do contact earth's surface are called meteorites.

Answer 4

You didn't ask a question, so nothing to answer.
