Meteorites. When floating in space they are called meteoroids, they are then called meteors when they enter the earths atmosphere at high speeds, burning up brightly as shooting stars for a brief period due to the friction against the gas in the atmosphere. If any surviving pieces are found on the surface, they are called meteorites.
