Asteroids are the rocky planet remnants orbiting the solar system in the asteroid belt. Collisions between these objects may leave debris that can enter the Earth's atmosphere and become meteorites.

If an object in the solar system crosses paths with earth and enters earths atmosphere it is called?

If an object in the solar system crosses paths with Earth and enters its atmosphere, it is called a meteor. When these objects are in space, they are referred to as meteoroids. If they survive their passage through the atmosphere and land on Earth's surface, they are known as meteorites.


What are icy leftover planetesimals orbiting the Sun is?

Icy leftover planetesimals orbiting the Sun are typically found in the outer regions of the solar system, beyond Neptune. These objects, such as Kuiper Belt objects and scattered disk objects, are remnants from the early stages of the solar system's formation and are composed primarily of ice and rock. Some of them are known as dwarf planets, such as Pluto and Eris.


Why are objects in solar system different from each other?

Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.


The plantes and other objects that orbit the sun are called constllations or a solar sysrem?

Planets and other objects that orbit the sun are part of a solar system, whereas constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth. So, the correct term is a solar system for planets and objects orbiting the sun.


What term refers to our sun and the objects that orbit around it?

The term used for the sun and the objects that move around it is solar stem. This is what contains the other planets.
