A meteorite by definition has reached the ground. Mist meteoroids burn up in the Earths atmosphere. Any meteorite would have been bigger as a meteoroid as the outer coating would have been burnt off during entry.
When air high above the earth' surface is cooled below the dew point it is likely to form?
two things that may happen to the meteoroid is that it might burn or collide with the Earth.
Its surface is visible because of how AU's (Astronomical Units) it is away from the Earth.
Friction generated as the meteoroid enters the atmosphere generates enough heat to vapourise the rock before it reaches the Earth's surface.
When a meteoroid is 75 km above earth's surface, it is within the troposphere.
A "meteorite" is the word for a meteoroid that impacts Earth's surface.
When a meteor reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
