The characteristics of meteoroids (they are only "meteors" when they are falling through the atmosphere and burning up) are that they are usually one of two types: Stony or Iron/Nickel, they are lifeless, they have very little gravity because of their small size, and there are millions of them in our solar system, most probably connected with the Asteroid Belt. Thousands of meteoroids fall into earth's atmosphere every day, becoming meteors, but most are the size of rice grains, and are unnoticed. If one remains intact until it reaches the ground, it is then known as a meteorite.
