Answer: When asteroids enter the atmosphere of Earth or any other planet, they are called meteorites. Typically, asteroids are too small to form a circular shape, unlike dwarf planets or comets.

Explanation:

Why are meteoroids not considered dwarf planets?

<em>Key difference: A dwarf planet is “a celestial body in direct orbit of the Sun that is massive enough for its shape to be controlled by gravitation, but that unlike a planet has not cleared its orbital region of other objects.” An asteroid, on the other hand, is a large chunk of rock that orbits around the sun.</em>

Earth is 149.6 billion meters from the sun and takes 365 days to make one complete revolution around the sun. mars is 227.9 bill

We need to assume that the orbits are circular; this is a very good approximation and do not hesitate to adopt it. We need then to consider the basic equation of circular motion that relates centripetal acceleration, angular velocity, mass, radius and force:
$F=m*v^2*r$ . We also have the basic equation of Newton, F=ma. By checking, we see that for each planet we have that a=v^2*r where v is the angular velocity. v= $\frac{2\pi}{T}$ where T is the orbital period, hence we have that a= $\frac{4\pi^2*r}{T^2}$ . Denote with the index 1 the Earth case and with 2 the Mars case. We have then that $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{4 \pi^2*r_{1}*T_2^2}{4 \pi^2*r_{2}*T_1^ 2}$ . Substituting the known values in a calculator, we get the result: the centripetal acceleration of earth is 2.32 times greater than that of Mars.
