Best Answer

The word meteor is used to define the time when a meteoroid (something in space) enters the Earth's atmosphere and is seen there as a fiery streak. If something of it survives passage through the atmosphere to land on the ground, this bit is called a meteorite.

Therefore all meteors (being in Earth's atmosphere) are 149.60 million kilometers (92.96 million miles) from the Sun.
