Talk:Meteor
From Academic Kids
N. Great job on the definitions. It's so rare to see these concepts presented accurately.
- Concur. But, is a meteor the visible path? Or is it the actual piece of rock?
- As defined at the moment the subsequent sentence A meteor striking the Earth seems wrong.
- Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries say it's the rock. Others say the trail. --Eddie 18:59, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit]
meteor is the path
Meteor is really only the visible path, the light. The own word meteor comes from word meteo (in Greece something like atmosphere or something like that); meteorology is a science about meteors. It was believed meteor is appearence in atmosphere, like lighting or rain.
