How do the study of meteorites helps scientists to know about the interior of the earth?

उत्तर
The study of meteorites helps scientists understand the Earth's interior by providing clues about its composition and formation. Meteorites, especially iron meteorites, are made of materials similar to those found in the Earth’s core (mainly iron and nickel). By studying these, scientists conclude that the Earth’s core is also primarily composed of these elements. Meteorites also provide insights into the early solar system and the processes that formed the Earth, helping to refine models of the Earth’s internal structure and materials.
