"Meteor" is the fiery trail across the sky. If it survives the passage through the atmosphere and hits the ground, the fragments (it usually breaks up in the atmosphere or on impact) are called "meteorites".
A meteoroid is a small piece of space debris in the solar system. When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere it becomes a meteor (shooting star).If the meteoroid survives the atmosphere and lands on the Earth, it becomes a meteorite.

The meteoroid that burns up in Earth's atmosphere is known as a meteor. When a meteoroid, which is a small rocky or metallic body from space, enters the atmosphere at high speed, it heats up due to friction with the air, causing it to glow and create a streak of light commonly referred to as a "shooting star." If it survives the descent and lands on Earth, it is then classified as a meteorite.
Actually they do burn up when they pass through the earth's atmosphere.A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system. A meteoroid that burns up as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere is known as a meteor.
An object of dust or rock that burns up in the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. When it enters the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light due to the intense heat generated by friction, it is referred to as a meteor, often colloquially known as a "shooting star." If a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is then classified as a meteorite.
That is called a meteoroid. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a streak of light in the sky, known as a meteor or shooting star.
The term that describes a bright streak of light resulting from a meteoroid burning up in Earth's atmosphere is "meteor." This phenomenon occurs when the meteoroid, entering the atmosphere at high speed, heats up and ionizes the surrounding air, creating a glowing trail. If the meteoroid survives its passage and lands on Earth, it is then called a meteorite.
A piece of space debris that falls to earth is commonly known as a meteorite. When knocked out of orbit during collisions with other space material, meteorites can travel through the atmosphere and make landfall.
A meteor is a meteoroid that... burns up in Earth's atmosphere.
