Meteor craters are formed due to the impact of meteors that managed to reach the Earth’s surface.
GridKids.id – Planet Earth is the only planet in the solar system that has life in it.
The earth has a layer of atmosphere that functions to protect living things and the whole earth from the collisions of celestial bodies in outer space.
Celestial objects in outer space continue to move following the gravity of the planets in the solar system, including Earth.
There have been several times that celestial bodies have managed to enter the planet or crash into satellites orbiting the Earth.
Before successfully entering the Earth, celestial bodies will first burn in the atmosphere before reaching the Earth’s surface.
So, this time you will be invited to see several meteors that have managed to hit the Earth even though they have passed through the atmosphere and partially burned, including:
