What is the difference between a meteoroid and a meteorite?
As they near the sun, the radiation heats up the comet giving off gases in the form of a long tail
Oort cloud
Meteors, asteroids, comets, and satellites
Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, meteorites collide with Earth's surface
When small particles collide and stick together
by collecting more material and growing bigger
Large cloud of dust and gas in space
Nebular model
