1. Bolide

   Bolide is a term related to meteors and meteorites. There is no consensus on the definition of a bolide, so there are specific definitions used by several groups and fields. One definition describes a bolide as a fireball reaching an apparent magnitude of −14 or brighter. Another definition describes a bolide as any generic large crater-forming impacting body whose composition is unknown. The word bolide comes from Greek βολίς bolis, which means missile.
