Meteors: Crash Course Astronomy #23
Episode 23 | 11m 21s
What the difference between a meteor, meteorite, and meteoroid?
Today Phil helps keep you from ticking off an astronomer in your life by making sure you know the difference between a meteor, meteorite, and meteoroid. When the Earth plows through the stream emitted by a comet we get a meteor shower. Meteors burn up about 100 km above the Earth, but some survive to hit the ground.
