A micrometeoroid is a tiny meteoroid, typically less than 1 millimeter in size. These small particles, mostly from comets or asteroids, travel through space at high speeds. They can cause damage to spacecraft and satellites despite their small size due to their high velocity. Some micrometeoroids also enter Earth's atmosphere and disintegrate, creating meteors or "shooting stars".
