Meteor impact refers to the collision of a meteoroid, which is a small rocky or metallic body from space, with a celestial body, such as a planet or moon. This event can result in the creation of craters, ejection of debris, and significant geological changes. The impact can release an immense amount of energy, equivalent to explosions of nuclear bombs, depending on the size and speed of the meteoroid. Meteor impacts can have various effects including immediate destruction of habitats, alteration of climates, and in some historical cases, they are believed to have played a role in mass extinctions on Earth. The study of meteor impacts is important for understanding both Earth’s history and the potential threats posed by celestial objects.
