What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteor?
The word "meteor" refers to the streak of light in the sky caused when something falls into the Earth's atmosphere at very high speed, and is heated to incandescence by friction and compressive heating. The "something" can be a rock the size of a grain of rice, or anything larger. Before it hits the atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid"; if it survives to strike the Earth, the fragments if found are called "meteorites". An asteroid is a chunk of rock floating in space, orbiting the Sun. The term can be applied to anything large enough to be visible, but is typically applied to rocks at least a few meters in diameter. There's a lot of gray area between "meteoroid" and "asteroid".
