Best Answer

"Meteorite" is a name given when meteors (shooting stars) have fallen to earth and are sitting on the ground. So, they have no moons.

"Meteor" is a name given to a rocky or icy hunk of material that falls into the Earth's (or other planet's) atmosphere (Air) where they usually heat up enough to emit strong light.

Meteors are not big enough to have a large enough force of gravity to attract other objects to be their moons.

Your answer, then, is 'none'.
