Answer» 5. Meteors, or “SHOOTING stars,” are pieces of space rock that enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up. As they burn, they look like streaks of light. During a meteor shower, many meteors enter the atmosphere at once. The Leonid meteor shower happens every November, when Earth passes through an area in space with many rocky bits.6. Asteroids are rocky objects primarily FOUND in the asteroid belt, a region of the SOLAR system that lies more than 2 ½ times as far from the Sun as Earth does, between the ORBITS of Mars and Jupiter. These objects are sometimes CALLED minor planets or planetoids. |
