Characteristics of a meteoroid

Appears in various sizes, which is from 10 µm to 1 m.

Made up of stones and metals such as iron and nickel.

Originates from fragments of asteroids and comets.

Its surface temperature in outer space is about 0°C.

Travels at varying speed. The fastest meteoroid travels at

42 km s-¹

Size stars in from 1m to 1000km.

The surface of the most aesteroids are thought to be

covered in dust.

due to space weathering.

 Aesteroid

If the asteroid hits on land, there would be a huge amount

of dust thrown up into the atmosphere. If it hits in water,
then there would be an increase in water vapor in the
atmosphere. This would result in an increase in rain
resulting in landslides and mudslides.
