Notes

These lecture podcasts are audio recordings of daily lectures from Prof. Richard Pogge's Autumn Quarter 2006 section of Astronomy 161 at The Ohio State University. They were recorded live, unscripted and unedited.

Info

Asteroids are the leftover rocky materials from the formation of the Solar System that reside mainly in a broad belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Meteoroids are fragments of asteroids or bits of debris from passing comets that occasionally pass through our atmosphere as meteors, and even more rarely survive the fiery passage to reach the ground as a meteorite.

A meteoroid ˈmiːtiərɔɪd is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to one-meter-wide objects. Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. Most are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars.

Lecture 42: Asteroids and Meteoroids. Published November 27, 2006. Asteroids Asteroids are rocky fragments left over from the formation of the solar system about 4. Most asteroids orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists think there are probably millions of asteroids, ranging widely in size from hundreds of kilometers across to less than one kilometer a little more than one-half mile wide. Fireballs are larger meteoroids, roughly ranging in size anywhere from a basketball to a Volkswagen. They also make very impressive sky displays as they break into fragments and burn up in their passage through Earth's atmosphere. Some meteoroids survive passage through Earth's atmosphere and hit the ground. The Ohio State Astrophysics Series OSAS is a projected series of e-books based on lecture notes for the six core graduate astrophysics courses and the first-year Observed Properties course taught at OSU. These e-books are not exhaustive monographs, but instead adopt the back-of-envelope philosophy of our Order of Magnitude Astrophysics course to emphasize the most important physical principles in each subfield of astrophysics
