Question

Which statement explains the differences between meteoroids and asteroids? A Asteroids have typical elliptical orbits and meteoroids have typical circular orbits around the sun. B Asteroids are small solar system bodies that orbit the Sun. A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system. C Asteroids are generally smaller chunks of rock that dissolve once they enter Mars or Jupiter's atmosphere. Meteoroids are made up of all the smaller objects in orbit around the moon. D Most asteroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere are so small that they vaporize completely and never reach the planet's surface. Most of them originate from asteroids that lose gas and dust when they approach the Sun.

Answer 1

B Asteroids are small solar system bodies that orbit the Sun. A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system.

A meteoroid is small rocks that originate as remnant of astronomical bodies like comets etc . They enter the atmosphere of the earth and burn as shooting star .
