01.Every year, as much as 4000.000 tons of cosmic material heads towards Earth Fortunately, most of it burns up in our atmosphere. Scientists call objects “meteoroids” before they reach Earth’s atmosphere. If they burn up in the atmosphere, they are called “meteors.” objects that reach Earth surface are called “meteorites”
