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.'
Exothermic because the fire or spark created by striking the match is releasing energy
The theory is that it was a large meteorite striking the earth that caused a huge dust cloud to rise and blot out the sun. As plant life succumbed to lack of light, so plant eaters died off first. With no plant eaters to prey on, the carnivore dinosaurs also died eventually from lack of food.

The scientific name for a feathered tree viper is Atheris squamigera. It is a species of venomous snake found in Central Africa known for its striking coloration and scales that give it a feathered appearance.
The actual rock, sand or other material is meteroid. When we can visibly see the path it traces as it burns up in the atmosphere, it is called a meteor. If it survives the atmosphere and does not burn up completely, striking the ground, it is called a meteorite.
