Earth's Impact History

I was part of space, far from home,

But now I’ve landed on Earth’s dome.

I made it through the atmosphere,

And now I’m lying somewhere near.

WHAT AM I?

• Asteroid

• Meteor

• Meteorite

• Comet

I spend most of my time in space,
Between Mars and Jupiter’s place.
I’m rocky and big, just floating around
Until gravity pulls me down!

I flash across the sky so bright,

A streak of light that lasts one night.

I burn up before I hit the ground

But pieces of me are sometimes found.

WHAT AM I?

• Asteroid

• Meteor

• Meteorite

• Comet

I’m icy, dusty, with a glowing tail,

I fly by the sun on a distant trail.

People watch me from far and wide,

As I streak through the starry night sky.
