Answer:
1.A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon.
2.Small particles are usually completely consumed, but moderately sized ones may survive to the point where they completely lose their cosmic velocity and begin to fall to the ground under the force of gravity.
