Yocha News- Meteor that exploded in the skies Russia recently wounded hundreds of people in the local area. Reportedly, this meteor attacks occur every few months.
Reported Hosted, meteor fragments that had been shot with a missile in the local country's military reportedly fell to the ground in the Ural Mountains. What is the difference between meteors and meteorites?
Meteors are pieces of space rock, usually smaller than a comet or asteroid. Meteor can enter the Earth's atmosphere and is generally burned by the hot atmosphere.
However, meteors can still survive in the heat of the atmosphere can be landed onto the surface of the Earth. Well, the meteor that had escaped from the "filter" the atmosphere is called a meteorite.
Space objects can then be slid and hit the Earth's surface. According to a research note European Space Agency (ESA), this meteor can be shot at a speed of 30 thousand miles per hour. (18,642 mph).
Brunt meteor could release large amounts of power. Experts say the smallest meteor attacks occurred from five to 10 times a year.
Huge impact as happened recently in Russia is scarce. However, this could happen again every five years.
Addi Bischoff, an expert mineralogist from the University of Muenster, Germany, most of these attacks occurred in areas that are not inhabited, where the impact will not cause injury to humans.
Alan Harris, senior scientist at the German Aerospace Center, Berlin, says that the effects of injuries caused by meteor explosion that broke out in the atmosphere. This explosion shock waves that can fling objects floating in the air within a radius of several kilometers.
If the meteorite landed on Earth's land surface. Thus, the shape of the object space is becoming too small to cause significant damage.
