Meteors for Kids | What Is a Meteor? Are Meteors the same as Shooting Stars?

video thumbnail
In this video, we will learn about the real name for shooting stars: meteors! Your student(s) will learn all about these fiery rocks. More specifically, they will learn that meteors have a few different names depending on where they are on their journey to the earth's surface. They start out as meteoroids. Meteoroids are pieces of metal or rock that break off comets or asteroids when they crash into each other in space. They are not actually called meteors until they begin to fall toward Earth's atmosphere! Then, if they make it through, they get a new name again once they've landed somewhere on the earth: meteorites.

Your student(s) will learn about the both the biggest and oldest meteorites that have been discovered. The largest meteorite is named Hoba, which means gift, located in Namibia, Africa. It weighs 60 tons, which is 120,000 pounds! And the oldest meteorite is named the Fukang Meteorite. It was discovered near Fukang, China, and is believed to be about 4.5 billion years old. That means that it is about the same age, or even older, than our planet!

Children will also love learning about meteor showers. Meteor showers can be predicted throughout the year. It looks like hundreds or even thousands of shooting stars falling from the sky.

Your student(s) will love showing off their new knowledge about meteors. Would you like even more fun learning opportunities about Meteors?
