Meteors and Their Nature in Earth's Space
Meteors usually appear at about 100 miles up and burn up before 25 miles above the surface. They contain one third of Earth's crust elements such as iron sulfur calcium chlorine carbon and more. Most are stone but some mix with iron and a few are iron dominant. Meteors often make a sound and may explode on impact. Iron, sulfur and other elements come from the crust and meteors fall downward toward Earth due to gravity. Individual particles are tiny and unseen until they near Earth and glow.
