From a meteoroid to a meteor and meteorite: how a meteoroid enters the atmosphere to become visible as a meteor and impact the Earth's surface as a meteorite. A meteoroid (/ËmiËtiÉrÉÉªd/) is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects.
Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Thomas Jefferson's job in Washington's cabinet was as Secretary of State. He was reluctant to take this position at first; however, it was hard to refuse an offer made by Geroge Washington who insisted.
From 1779 to 1781, Jefferson served as governor of Virginia, and from 1783 to 1784, did a second stint in Congress (then officially known, since 1781, as the Congress of the Confederation). In 1785, he succeeded Benjamin Franklin (1706-90) as U.S. minister to France.
