What causes an Eclipse to occur?
Eclipses occur due to the special coincidence of the Moon and the Sun being the same angular size. The Sun is approximately 400 times wider than the Moon, but it is also approximately 400 times farther away, so they appear to be the same size in our sky. This is what allows the Moon to completely block the Sun during total solar eclipses.

What is the difference between meteors meteorites and meteoroids?
Meteoroids: These rocks still are in space. Meteoroids range in size from dust grains to small asteroids.
Meteors: When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors.
Meteorites: When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it’s called a meteorite.
