Meteorite found in Arizona, USA
Meteorite. Meteorite found in Arizona, USA. The metal cube with it is one centimetre square. Met- eorites are lumps of rock & metal that strike the Earth without being burnt up as they fall through the atmosphere. Most of them are fragments from asteroids or comets, though some are fragments of the Moon or other planets which were thrown into space by a meteorite impact. Meteorites can give valuable information about the composition of the early solar system or other planets. Meteorites may contain metals such as iron or nickel, and rocky material such as silicates. About 500 meteorites strike the Earth each year; their speed at impact is about 300 kilometres per hour

They can originate from various sources such as asteroids, comets, or even fragments expelled from other planets or our own Moon due to powerful impacts. These cosmic remnants hold immense scientific value as they offer insights into the early solar system's composition and shed light on distant planetary bodies. The study of meteorites has revealed fascinating information about our universe's history and formation. They may contain precious metals like iron or nickel alongside rocky materials such as silicates. Each year, approximately 500 meteorites collide with our planet at staggering speeds of around 300 kilometers per hour.
