Question

Which terms describe space objects that are small chunks of rock and debris that are smaller than 1 km? Select three options meteoroids asteroids meteors meteorites comets

Answer 1

Answer:

Asteroids

Meteors

Meteoroids

Explanation:

Asteroids are rocky bodies that are too small to be called planets and they orbit the sun. Most of them have different sizes ranging from about the size of a small pebble to about 1 km. they exist mostly at the asteroid belt near Jupiter.

Meteoroids are rock materials made up of mostly silicon and oxygen. They also float around in outer space.

Once a meteoroid enters the earth's atmosphere it turns into a meteor.

However, comets and meteorites are more of dust and ice than rock bodies that travel through space. They are not chunks of rocks. Hence as a result they need to be excluded from the group of choices
