1. Comets, Asteroids, and Meteors
Meteoroids are smaller pieces of rock that have originated from asteroids. A streak of light called a meteor is seen when a meteoroid enters and burns in the Earth's atmosphere. When a meteoroid strikes Earth, it is called a meteorite. Meteor Crater in Arizona shows the impact and size of meteorite collision.
