Question

When a meteor falls on earth. a streak of light is seen. will this streak of light be seen if a meteor falls on the moon? Explain??
​

Answer 1

Answer:

No streak of light will appear.

Reason I given below.

Explanation:

No streak of light will be seen.

This is because as it falls to the moon, the gravitational pull plus the dense atmosphere which was necessary to produce friction when it fell to the earth are not present in this case and as such the whole meteor is not burnt like it did when it fell to the earth.
