Lintang alih

Météyor iku pasawangan jalur tibané météyoroid menyang atmosfer bumi, kang asring diarani lintang alih. Pasawangan mau disebabaké déning panas kang diasilaké déning penetan ram (dudu déning gèsèkan, kaya déné anggepan umum sadurungé iki) nalika météyoroid lumebu atmosfer. Météyor kang padhang banget, luwih padhang tinimbang pasawangan Planit Venus, bisa diarani daru.

Yèn siji météyoroid ora entèk kobong sajeroning lelakuné ing atmosfer lan tekan lumahing bumi, bendha kang diasilaké diarani météyorit. Météyor kang nabrak bumi utawa objèk liya bisa mbentuk kawah.
