Sort of a Meteor is a part of an Asteroid, but it starts to burn up in entering the earths atmosphere

Why do planets look like a perfect circle from a distance?
It's part of the definition of "planet". An asteroid or meteor can have any shape, because its gravity isn't great enough to crush it into a mostly-spherical shape. But planets ARE massive enough that they have to be spherical; their gravity forces them into that shape. If their spin is fast enough, the equatorial regions will bulge out, such as with Earth and especially with Jupiter.
What are some differences between an asteroid and an meteor?
There isn't really any differences they are the same thing except an asteroid is MUCH MUCH bigger than a meteor, an asteroid is what killed off the dinos along time ago not a meteor. So say Jupiter and Pluto were a meteor, and a asteroid, Pluto wouold be the meteor and Jupiter would be the asteroid

Which object in our solar system has the least gravity?
Either a dust speck in the asteroid belt or in the Kuyper belt.
What burns up before it hit the earths surface meteor or asteroid?

Is an asteroid a meteor that strikes earth surface?
No. A meteor that gets to the ground is a meteoroid. An Asteroid is an orbiting body between Mars ans Jupiter.
What is a rock in space called?
meteor
Why do the outer planets have rings?
They get a different kind of gravity that far away from the sun. They can also get meteor pieces that have fallen of comets that we can not get, because we get too much of the sun's gravity.
What is the name of the fallen asteroid?
The name is meteor.
