What is the difference between meteorites meteors and meteoroid?
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.
What is the name of a chunk of rock that is too large to burn up in the atmosphere and it strike earth?
A chunk of rock that is too large to burn up in the atmosphere and strikes Earth is called a "meteorite." When it enters the atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid," and as it travels through the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light, it is known as a "meteor." If it survives the journey and reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
Do meteors have cells?
No. Meteors are fragments of rock and/or metal entering the atmosphere.
What is a chunk of rock from space that has entered earths atmosphere?
A chunk of rock from space that has entered Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. When it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction, it creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor shower or "shooting star." If it survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then referred to as a meteorite. These objects can originate from asteroids, comets, or even the Moon and Mars.

What do you call a space rock while it is coming through the Earth's atmosphere?
