Well, meteor's are just pieces of debris or a solid object moving in space. Normally, meteor's come about due to some sort of collision. Our own moon for example, is thought to be the left over debris of when our planet earth (very early on in its existence obviously) had a cataclysmic crash with another extra terrestrial body.

So, altogether, meteor's can be summed up as the collision of two solid bodies or anything related.

Hope this helps!!
