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.
In early 1801, Lewis was appointed by President Jefferson to be his personal secretary. Lewis was a childhood protege of Jeffersonâs, and they renewed their bond years later while Lewis was on army duty in Charlottesville, Virginia. There is no doubt that part of Jeffersonâs reason for appointing Lewis to this position was political; like Jefferson, Lewis was a firm Republican.
