Lucy: It’s a

Harris: It’s a

 Have you ever seen a shooting
star in the night sky? Can you describe
what you saw?

• It appears as an object with a tail .

• It travels quickly and appears to
fall on the ground.
 A shooting
star is another
name for a
meteor. But
the truth is: a
meteor is not a
star at all.
What is a meteor?
 A meteor is a
light phenomenon
or a streak of light
that occurs when a
meteoroid burns
up as it enters
Earth’s
atmosphere.
 What is a
meteoroid? Where
do you think they
come from?
 Meteoroid is a broken up rock
and dust from either a comet,
asteroid, the Moon or from Mars.
What causes a meteor?
 When a meteoroid enters
Earth’s atmosphere, the air in
front of the meteoroid heats
up, causing materials to burn
up.
How can you differentiate
a meteor from a comet
when viewed from Earth?
 What differentiates the two
when we see them in the sky is that
a comet moves slowly and appears
in the sky for a longer time.
 A meteor moves swiftly and
seems to fall on the ground. It
“shoots” from a point in the sky,
making people think that it is a
shooting or falling star.
What is a meteorite?
 A meteoroid
usually all burns up
when it enters
Earth’s
atmosphere.
 But when a
fragment from the
meteoroid survives
and makes it to the
ground, this space
rock fragment is
now called a
meteorite.
Differentiate meteoroid from
meteor and meteorite:
Meteoroid Meteor Meteorite
 What happens as a
fragment from an
asteroid or comet enters
our atmosphere?
