Q:
Why does the study of meteorites give us a better understanding of the creation of the solar system?
A:
Studying the composition of the meteorites can provide clues to their origins since most of the meteorites that are studied come from our solar system instead of interstellar space. Some meteorites are made up of the same materials from asteroids, the moon, or even comets.
