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.
On 5 July 1784 Jefferson became plenipotentiary to France as an assistant to Benjamin Franklin and John Adams in their negotiations for commercial treaties with the French. He succeeded Franklin as the sole plenipotentiary to France in May of 1785, a position in which he served for three years. Jefferson returned from Europe in 1788, at which time he returned to Virginia to spend some time with his three remaining daughters.
