Ajde sad smanjite malo obojica. Precizno gledano, asteroid jeste manje nebesko telo nepravilnog oblika koje se krece oko Sunca ili druge zvezde, odnosno planete.
Meteoritima nazivamo asteroide koji su pali na Zemlju, odnosno planetu ili sagoreli u njenoj atmosferi.
meteor, zvezda padalica - nebeska pojava izazvana prolaskom meteorita kroz atmosferu u vidu svetlog traga cija boja i duzina trajanja zavise od hemijskog sastava meteorita.
Metorska kisa - nebeska pojava izazvana prolaskom Zemlje kroz pojas stinog materijala koji obicno izbacuje kometa prilikom prolaska kroz Suncev sistem. Poznati meteorski rojevi su: Persidi, Leonidi, Orionidi itd....
Dakle, ne mesajte babe i zabe. Nema podele nebeskog kamenja po velicini, bar ne striktno i zvanicno napravljene od strane MAO.
Asteroid:
1. (Astronomy & Space / Celestial Objects) Also called minor planet, planetoid, any of numerous small celestial bodies that move around the sun mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Their diameters range from 930 kilometres (Ceres) to less than one kilometrer
2.Any of numerous small, often irregularly shaped rocky bodies that orbit the Sun primarily in the asteroid belt, a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are intermediate in size between planets and meteoroids; the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt is Ceres, approximately 1,000 km (620 mi) in diameter, while the lower limit is variously given in the tens or hundreds of meters. While more than 1,800 asteroids have been cataloged, and as many as a million or more smaller ones may exist, their total mass has been estimated to be less than three percent of the Moon's. Asteroids are thought to be left over from the early formation of the solar system, when planetesimals in a protoplanetary disk were scattered after coming under Jupiter's gravitational influence. The continuing collision of planetesimals that remained between Jupiter and Mars caused many of them to fragment, creating the asteroids that exist today. Also called minor planet, planetoid.
Meteroit:
A meteorite is a natural object originating in outer space that survives impact with the Earth's surface. Most meteorites derive from small astronomical objects called meteoroids, but they are also sometimes produced by impacts of asteroids. When it enters the atmosphere, impact pressure causes the body to heat up and emit light, thus forming a fireball, also known as a meteor or shooting/falling star. The term bolide refers to either an extraterrestrial body that collides with the Earth, or to an exceptionally bright, fireball-like meteor regardless of whether it ultimately impacts the surface.
More generally, a meteorite on the surface of any celestial body is a natural object that has come from elsewhere in space. Meteorites have been found on the Moon[1][2] and Mars.[3]
