HELP!!!

Which is in the right order from largest to smallest?
asteroids, meteorites, meteors, meteoroids
dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids, meteorites
meteors, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteors
asteroids, meteorites, meteoroids, meteors

Answer 1

The correct order from largest to smallest is dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids, and meteorites, with dwarf planets like Ceres being the largest and meteorites being the smallest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order from largest to smallest among asteroids, meteorites, meteors, and meteoroids is dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids, meteorites.

Dwarf planets, like Ceres, are the largest objects among these, with Ceres having a diameter just less than 1000 kilometers.

Asteroids are smaller than dwarf planets, with some like Pallas and Vesta reaching diameters of about 500 kilometers.

Meteoroids are significantly smaller debris in space, which upon entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up, turn into meteors.

Meteorites are fragments of meteoroids that survive their passage through the Earth's atmosphere and land on Earth's surface, generally being the smallest of these objects.

Answer 2

Answer:Meteoroids are objects in space that range in size from dust grains to small asteroids. Think of them as “space rocks."

When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors.

When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it’s called a meteorite.
