I saw a bright meteoroid streak across the night sky.
The space rock is the celestial space object that a meteoroid comes from.
It is a meteorite

A meteoroid is the 'shooting star' you see in the sky. A meteor is a meteoroid that has entered the earth's atmosphere A meteorite is a meteor that has hit the surface.
That would depend on several factors; the velocity of the meteoroid, the mass, density and composition of the meteoroid, and the nature of the surface where it strikes.
Absolutely not. The Sun is not a meteoroid, it is a star. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock and debris travelling through space.
Yes.

A meteoroid is not the same as a meteorite. A meteoroid is a small piece of rock or even dust flying through space.

Its a meteoroid! or an asteroid
No. The gravity of a meteoroid is negligible, so it cannot hold onto an atmosphere.
A meteoroid that survives its passage through Earth's atmosphere becomes a meteorite. It must be both large and dense. I hope it is useful for you.
