Do you mean "plant" or "planet".

As it stands your question makes no sense.

A space rock (a meteoroid) becomes a meteor (a shooting star) as it enters a planetary atmosphere and becomes a meteorite once it has hit the surface. Therefore technically a meteorite does not exist before it hits a planet.
