Question

a meteorite is a meteor。
□ that successfully moved through earths atmosphere.
□ that orbits the earth.
□ that bounces off the earths atmosphere.

Explanation:

To determine the correct description of a meteorite, we analyze each option:

• A meteorite is a meteoroid (a small rocky or metallic body in space) that enters Earth's atmosphere and survives the passage to reach the Earth's surface. So "that successfully moved through Earth's atmosphere" matches the definition.
• Objects that orbit the Earth are satellites (like the Moon or artificial satellites), not meteorites. So "that orbits the earth" is incorrect.
• A meteorite does not bounce off the atmosphere; it enters and (if it survives) lands. So "that bounces off the Earth's atmosphere" is incorrect.

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{\text{that successfully moved through Earth's atmosphere}}$ (the checkbox next to this option should be selected)
