Meteoroid

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi

En meteoroid (også kaldet meteoroide) er et lille stenet objekt i kredsløb om Solen. En meteoroid er mindre end en småplanet (asteroide). Nogle definerer at et objekt som er stenet og mindre end ca. 100 meter i diameter kaldes en meteoroid. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}

Hvis et meteoroid træder ind i atmosfæren, bliver det kaldt et meteor.

A Nature's threat from the sky Citat: "...Meteoroids are defined as being solid particles in space larger than 100 µm in size..and smaller than about 10 meters..' [Steel,D.,1997, in 'Near Earth Objects. Annals of New York Academy of Sciences, vol. 822, p.31]..."
2. ↑ RASC Asteroids FAQ Citat: "...As a general rule an object needs to be one kilometer or larger in diameter to be called an asteroid, although there is no formal agreement on that size. Some astronomers feel that we should include all objects 20 meters or larger in size since an object just 20 meters across travelling at cosmic speeds can invoke serious damage on the earth...Objects smaller than asteroids are called meteoroids..."
3. ↑ Meteoroids, Asteroids, Comets Citat: "...Meteoroids are rocky bodies about 50 meters across or smaller whose impact with Earth is likely to deliver meteorite samples to the surface, but produce no impact crater...Asteroids, or minor planets, are rocky bodies larger than 50 meters across..."
