Ordinary chondrites are a type of stony meteorite that make up the majority of meteorite falls on Earth. They are primarily composed of small, round particles called chondrules, which are formed from molten or partially molten droplets in space. These meteorites are believed to originate from the asteroid belt, providing insights into the early solar system. These meteorites are classified into three main groups: H chondrites, L chondrites, and LL chondrites, based on their metal content and mineral composition. Ordinary chondrites are important for studying planetary formation and the conditions present in the early solar system, as they contain primitive materials that have remained largely unchanged since their formation.
