Sometimes the objects that appear in the sky moving from one side to the other or falling on the earth are called meteors and stars which are broken in ordinary speech. The fraction of meteors that reach the earth after escaping from burning in the atmosphere is called a meteorite. Countless meteors can often be seen at night, but the number of bodies that fall on the earth is very small.
Scientists say that these meteorites are very important. Because on one hand, they are very rare, on the other, they are also the direct sources of knowledge of the organization and structure of different planets in the sky.
