The definition of the celestial bodies allows us to find that the correct answer for a body that is captured and is in planetary orbit is:

  • Moon

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that rotate around the Sun, when this body enters the atmosphere of a planet and reaches the surface it is called meteoroids.

A meteorite is a fragment of meteoroid, which has been divided in space or the atmosphere during the entrance to the planet, in general they are smaller

A meteor is the atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when the pattern meteorite or meteoroid enters, that is, it does not correspond to a celestial body.

An asteroid satellite or Moon is a celestial object that revolves captures and around another asteroid, this concept can be extended to an asteroid revolving captures and around a planet

A satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet, its origin is varied and could be formed during the formation of the planet itself, or by capturing a nearby body during the initial formation of the solar system.

Let's examine the different answers

  • Moon.

True. A body captured by a planet is generally called the Moon.

  • Meteoriode.

False. A meteoroid is a body that enters the atmosphere of the plant and reaches its surface.

  • Meteorite

False. It is a fragment of meteoroid that manages to reach the surface of the planet.

  • Meteor

False.   Atmospheric phenomenon visible when passing a meteoroid or meteorite.

In conclusion, using the definition of celestial bodies we can find that the correct answer for a body that is captured and is in planetary orbit is:

  • Moon

How are some types of collisions different from others?
lyudmila [28]
There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic. 
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)
