The name given to meteoroids depends on whether it enters the atmosphere or if it hits the ground.

If it does not enter the atmosphere it is known as a meteoroid.

If it enters the atmosphere but does not hit the ground it is known as a meteor.

If it hits the ground it is known as a meteorite.

What else can I help you with?
