A meteor that strikes the moon's surface is called a meteoroid when it is in space, a meteor when it is burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite once it lands on the moon's or Earth's surface.
Meteorite
A "meteorite" is the word for a meteoroid that impacts Earth's surface.
No. A meteor that gets to the ground is a meteoroid. An Asteroid is an orbiting body between Mars ans Jupiter.
Craters are where a chunk of space debris, such as a meteor or comet, has struck the surface of the planet and has caused material from the planets (or moons) surface to be ejected outwards.
Meteorite
When a meteorite or a meteor strikes the surface of a celestial body, or it can be any body of mass that is moving fast enough.
Is called a bolide or impactor and any fragments that survive the collision with the atmosphere or ground are called meteorites.
The streak of light produced as matter enters to the Earth's atmosphere and burns up is called a meteor . When it strikes the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.
Technically, once a meteor reachest the surface, it is no longer a mateor but a meteorite. In very large impacts, the impacting object can be vaporized by the heat generate. Smaller objects may be shattered by the force of impact or buried as the side of the crater collapse. Additionaly, to the untrained eye, a meteorite can be hard to distinguish from an ordinary rock.
Meteorites or asteroids can strike planets and moons.
A meteoroid does not have any moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, not smaller celestial bodies like meteoroids.
