Describe the differences among meteoroids meteors and meteorites

Meteoroid - A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun.

Meteor - A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere - a shooting star.

Meteorite - A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth’s atmosphere and impacts the Earth’s surface.

Meteors: A small body of matter from outer space that enters the earth's atmosphere, becoming incandescent as a result of friction and appearing as a steak of light.

Meteorites: A meteor that survives it passage through the earth's atmosphere such that part of it strikes the ground. More than 90 percent of meteorites are of rock, while the remainder consist wholly or partly of iron and nickel.
