bcoz chunks r so yummie so wen it enter the earths atmosphere the smell is soo gud
They are all the same thing essentially -- it's their location that determines what they are called. Meteoroids are in space, they are then called meteors when burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and become meteorites once on the surface of the planet, if any of it survives. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock roaming through space. A meteor is a chunk of rock entering our atmosphere (shooting star). A meteorite is what's left over from the chunk of rock after impact.
No. Meteors are fragments of rock and/or metal entering the atmosphere.
Meteorites
Bits of rock from outer space entering our atmosphere.
A chunk of rock or dust floating through space is called a meteoroid. It moves around the Solar System and becomes a meteor if it enters the Earth's atmosphere.

Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.

A meteor. Technically, a "meteor" is the flash of light itself. Once the rock hits the Earth's surface (IF it survives) it is called a "meteorite".

"Meteoroid". If it actually hits the Earth's atmosphere, the streak of light will be a "meteor", and if the object survives to impact the Earth's surface then we call the remains a "meteorite".
