A meteor is the streak of light you see in the night sky from a asteroid or meteroid hitting the atmosphere.

It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space.

However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.
