Meteoroid
01
метеороїд
a small celestial body that becomes visible as a meteor upon entrance into the atmosphere of the earth
Example
A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic object in outer space that is significantly smaller than an asteroid and larger than a micrometeoroid.
Meteoroids often originate from comets or asteroids and can range in size from tiny particles to objects several meters in diameter.
When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes due to friction with the air, it creates a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star.
