How can meteorites from the Moon or Mars have made it to Earth?
A) Impacts on those worlds blasted rocks into space that eventually fell to Earth.
B) Those worlds spin rapidly enough to have sent some rocks from their surfaces into space.
C) The meteorites from the Moon and Mars were never actually part of those worlds; they are just rocks that formed in the same vicinities of the solar system.
D) The solar wind gradually blew material off of the surfaces of these worlds, and once in space it collected together to make the meteorites.
