Experts say the shooting star burns fire (formed in the early stages of the solar system 4-5 billion years ago) about the size of a small truck when it falls into the Earth's atmosphere, causing a loud explosion early in the morning. last day
Meteor stars weigh about 70,000 tons. When decaying, it generates energy equivalent to the 5 kiloton explosion, due to high-speed flight in the atmosphere (22,000 - 44,000 miles per hour). The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima is a 15 kiloton type.
Such falling meteorites can occur once a year around the world, according to US scientists. However, most cases occur on the ocean and uninhabited areas.
