Pluto is a dwarf planet.

All planets revolve in their respective orbits due to centripetal force.

Sun contains 99.86% mass of the solar family.

All of the above

Because of its small size

Because it is at a large distance from Earth

Because of the glare from the sun

Small meteors are known as meteorites.

Meteors that reach the surface of the earth before evaporating completely are called meteorites.

Meteors that crash into the surface of the earth at night time only are called meteorites.

Meteors that reach the surface of the earth after cooling down in the cold upper reaches of the atmosphere are called meteorites.

Chemical reactions in the core of meteors heat them up, liberating light.

Friction due to atmosphere heats them up, liberating light.

Gravitational force of Earth heats them up, converting potential energy to heat energy.

Entering Earth's magnetic field ionises their particles and they start glowing.

Its density is more than that of water.

Its density is less than that of water.

Its density is equal to that of water.

We do not know anything about its density.
