Asteroid: a large rock with its own orbit around the sun; most of them lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These rarely hit Earth, but it has happened. Meteor: a small piece of rock, ice, or dust that enters earth's atmosphere and quickly burns up as a result of high-speed friction with the gas molecules in our upper atmosphere, creating what is commonly known as a "shooting star." Meteoroid: a small particle of rock, ice, or dust floating around in space that hasn't entered our atmosphere yet. Meteorite: a small particle of rock that enters our atmosphere and has enough mass to survive the atmospheric entry process and actually impacts somewhere on Earth's surface.
