Meteoroids are big lumps of rock in space.
The collection of planets and their moons in orbit around a sun, together with smaller bodies such as asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.

We know that there are small meteoroids and dust in space because meteorites (meteoroids that survive the atmosphere and land on Earth) exist, and also because we can see meteoroids as meteors (the light coming from a meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere) in the sky.
