Home > Meteor

If a meteoroid survives its transit of the atmosphere to come to rest on the surface, the resulting object is called a meteorite. A meteor striking the Earth or other object may produce an impact crater.

Molten terrestrial material 'splashed' from such a crater can cool and solidify into an object known as a tektite
