A meteoroid that burns up is still called a meteoroid. The flaming incandescent phenomenon is called a meteor. If it survives atmospheric entry and impacts the ground, it is called a meteorite.

How do you know there are small meteoroids and dust in space?
We know that there are small meteoroids and dust in space because meteorites (meteoroids that survive the atmosphere and land on Earth) exist, and also because we can see meteoroids as meteors (the light coming from a meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere) in the sky.
How could you see a meteor but not hear?
It is just a small piece of ice, dust or rock burning up in the sky as it enters Earth's atmosphere. They are high in the sky and so make little or no noise as they burn, so we do not hear anything. They burn extremely fast, lasting a fraction of a second sometimes, so it all happens very quickly.
Why meteors are not revolve around the earth like the moon when they come close to earth?
Some are tiny, just the size of a speck of dust, so they are floating through space and they enter Earth's atmosphere.

Do meteors hit Jupiter?
yes, Numerically-speaking, the orbits of meteoroids dominate our knowledge of the orbital parameters of Earth-crossing small bodies: the meteoroid orbit database outstrips the numbers of observed Earth-crossing asteroids and comets by over two orders of magnitude. Whilst it is often imagined that small meteoroids are predominantly derived from comets through stream formation, and thus must have comet-like orbits, in fact the majority of observed meteoroid orbits are more similar to those of Apollo and Aten asteroids, with small, low-inclination orbits. In all about 69 000 meteoroid orbits are available from the IAU Meteor Data Center in Lund, Sweden, having been measured in various optical and radar observation programs based in the U.S.A., Canada, the former Soviet Union, Somalia, the Czech Republic, Japan, and Australia. Depending upon the detection method used, the original meteoroids producing the observed meteoric phenomena range in size from 100 m to 10 cm. Here the raw orbital, radiant and speed distributions are presented for the major surveys, a common format being used so that they may be intercompared such that general conclusions may be drawn, and the differences between the survey results identified. These data, collected over the past several decades, provide an important source of information on the origin and evolution of the small bodies in the solar system. information by springer link.com

What will happen when asteriods hits planet earth?
Asteroids constantly hit planet earth, it is just that when they enter in contact with the atmosphere they will start burning and getting destroyed, infact what will actually fall to earth is incredibly small dust.
What simile on sand?
Well it matters what you mean by this. For a sentence : Dust layers like a cake among each piece of furniture. For a definition: Particles that are hazardous to your health and are and disgusting.
Explain about the shape and sizes of the Sun Earth and Moon?
The Sun is the size now because the group of dust and gas was a specific size and the Sn was produced by the intense pressure at the middle of the dust and gas group. The Earth was produced by the leftover group of dust and gas around the Sun. Nobody knows how the Moon formed but the most likely cause is that a planetoid collided with Earth and Earth ejected a ring of dust and gas that formed into the Moon.
Is nebula a mass of gas and dust?
yes because it is a star which is a burning mass of gases and dust
Why is there a greater risk of explosion with dust in the air than with dust on the ground?
Cause dust can combust real fast and air supports burning the ground doesn't
What is different between comet and meteoroid?
A comet - is a 'lump' of ice and dust that orbits the solar system - returning periodically to be visible from Earth. A meteoroid - is a small piece of rock that usually burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.
