Solution

The correct option is B False
Meteor is an object from space such as a small rock or a piece of metal that hits the earth’s surface.

Meteors that are small in size evaporate before they can reach the surface of Earth due to the heat generated because of friction between the meteor's surface and Earth's atmosphere. Only the bigger ones reach the surface of the Earth.
