The term 'meteor' is applied to an interplanetary body ________

A After it enters the atmosphere of the earth
B After it enters the earth's atmosphere and explodes in mid air as a ball of fire
C After it enters the earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface of the earth without exploding in mid-air
D Before it enters the earth's atmosphere

Correct Answer: After it enters the earth's atmosphere and explodes in mid air as a ball of fire

A meteor is an asteroid or other object that burns and vaporizes upon entry into the Earth's atmosphere; meteors are commonly known as "shooting stars." If a meteor survives the plunge through the atmosphere and lands on the surface, it's known as a meteorite.
