D. The molecules in water are constantly moving.
They are able to do this because they move around to take whatever shape of the container.
Answer:
The distinction can be understood by their individual definitions given below.
Explanation:
A meteoroid is a small rocky/metallic body that can be found in outer space (space beyond the Earth's atmosphere). Their sizes are much smaller than asteroids (often called planetoids) and even more smaller than that of any planets or their moons. They generally originate from comets, asteroids (fragments of them) and even from planets or moons when there occurs heavy collisions.
A meteor is basically what we know to be "shooting stars". When a meteoroid, asteroid, etc. passes through the Earth's atmosphere, they heat up and begin to glow because of the frictional force experienced due to gas molecules in the atmosphere. But the important thing is that they do not reach the surface of the Earth as they completely burn out long before coming close. If some object does manage to reach the Earth's surface, we then call it a meteorite.
(These definitions are not restricted to the Earth but applies to all panets <em>and </em>moons.)

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. We will calculate the initial velocity of the object, and from it, we will calculate the final position. With the considerations made in the statement we will obtain the total height. Initial velocity of the acorn,
Also, it is given that the acorn takes 0.201s to pass the length of the meter stick.
Replacing,
The height of the acorn above the meter stick can be calculated as,
Also the top of the meter stick is 1.87m above the ground hence the height of the acorn above the ground is
A heliocentric system is a sun-centered
