How are a meteormeteoroidmeteorite related?

A meteor is the visible "fireball" or streak in the sky.A meteoroid is the sort of object that would form a meteor if it were in Earth's atmosphere, falling rapidly (so, basically, a rock, but one that happens to be "in space").A meteorite is the remnant of a meteoroid/meteor after it has fallen to Earth (most meteors are quite small and burn up completely in the atmosphere).


What do you call a meteoroid that hits Earth's surface?

"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite. A meteor is the steak of light we see acrss the sky, which can be part of a comet, a meteoroid, an asteroid, or any other interplanetary debris we may see from earth. However, a meteor is the larger part that can be seen, but not the actual portion that hits the earth. (Source: Astonomy Today, 6th edition by Chassion & McMillan)
