A meteorite is a rock that originated in other space and has fallen to the surface of a planet or moon. When the original object enters the atmosphere, various factors such as friction, pressure and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate energy. It than becomes a meteor and forms a fireball, also known as a shooting star; astronomers call the brightest examples “bolides”. Once it settles on the larger body’s surface, the meteor becomes a meteorite.
