What are meteorites that entered our atmosphere and hit earth without burning up called?
The terminology of space debris entering the Earth's athmosphere is a question of timing. Outside the athmosphere, the debris is considered a 'meteoroid.' Upon entering the athmosphere and while falling to the Earth, the debris is called a 'meteor.' After striking the Earth, whatever material did not disintegrate is called a 'meteorite.' So when you see a 'shooting star,' it is not a meteorite. It is technically a 'meteor.' Only after you find it on the ground is it a 'meteorite.'
Is a meteoroid smaller than a meteorite?
A meteorite by definition has reached the ground. Mist meteoroids burn up in the Earths atmosphere. Any meteorite would have been bigger as a meteoroid as the outer coating would have been burnt off during entry.

"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite.
