Yes. A meteorite is a space rock that has fallen to Earth and survived the heat and pressure of the passage through the atmosphere. Most meteorites are fairly small, because they typically explode in the atmosphere or on impact.
An asteroid is a space rock, typically fairly large, in orbit around the Sun. Many asteroids are in a broad band between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the Asteroid Belt.
Also, some Asteroids are large enough that two of them have been categorized as
Dwarf planets.

Meteoroids are rocky or metallic fragments from space that come from comets or asteroids.
