Give reason why some planets are hit by meteors
Q.2. Some planets are hit by meteors.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Apart from the sun and the nine planets in our solar system, there are a huge number of small rocks and smaller heavenly objects, which circle the sun. Sometimes, these rocks leave their paths and head straight for a planet, attracted by its gravitational pull.

These heavenly bodies that fall to the planet are called meteorites. Usually, the planeth is bombarded by several thousand of them each day. And sometimes they can be huge – as huge as a football field.
