What are meteorites that entered our atmosphere and hit earth without burning up called?
The terminology of space debris entering the Earth's athmosphere is a question of timing. Outside the athmosphere, the debris is considered a 'meteoroid.' Upon entering the athmosphere and while falling to the Earth, the debris is called a 'meteor.' After striking the Earth, whatever material did not disintegrate is called a 'meteorite.' So when you see a 'shooting star,' it is not a meteorite. It is technically a 'meteor.' Only after you find it on the ground is it a 'meteorite.'
