About meteorites:
Definition:
Meteorites are meteoroids (small objects in outer space) that make it all the way through the atmosphere and hit the Earth. [Santa Barbara News Press, D3, 012902]
Scope note:
Use this term for ’meteors’ as well as ’meteorites’ since these terms are often interchanged without regard to the formal definitions. USGS is more likely to have information about ’meteorites’ since these are objects found on the Earth.
Used for:
bolides, meteors, bolide impacts, meteor impacts, meteorite impacts
