What are Asteroid Belts, Meteoroids and Meteorites?

The Asteroid Belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is a vast region filled with rocky remnants from the solar system's formation. These asteroids vary in size, from tiny pebbles to massive bodies like Ceres, the largest dwarf planet. When these asteroids break apart, they create meteoroids—smaller fragments that can enter Earth’s atmosphere. As they streak through the sky, they become meteors, often called "shooting stars." They're called meteorites if they survive the fiery descent and land on Earth. Interestingly, meteorites have been found in many countries, providing valuable insights into the early solar system. Each meteorite carries a unique story, revealing clues about the building blocks of planets and the conditions of space. Studying these celestial objects fascinates scientists and ignites our imagination about the universe beyond our world.
