Întrebările 9–18

Ai completat corect – din 10.

'Meteors' is another name for 9.

To help explain meteors, planet Earth is compared to a 10.

You can think of meteors as a group of 11.

In reality, meteors are very small chunks of 12.

The circular path the Earth travels around the Sun is called its 13.

When Earth comes close to a meteor, the meteor is pulled 14 by gravity.

A meteor travels very fast - a hundred times faster than 15.

Due to the speed it travels through the air, the meteor becomes 16.

Because of the heat, the meteor becomes less hard, 17 and then burns.

We are lucky that most meteors burn up and never 18.
