The solar system is full of meteors. These meteors fly around the solar system and sometimes collide into other celestial bodies, including the Earth. Some meteors burn up in the atmosphere and never make it to the surface of the Earth, but some do. Once a meteor lands on the Earth’s surface, it is classified as a meteorite. If you are interested in owning one of these space treasures, you can go out and find them. You just need to know where to look, how to pinpoint a meteorite, and how to tell them apart from other rocks. | The solar system is full of meteors.
