An asteroid is a rocky object in space that's not as big as a planet and isn't a moon. There are millions of them, think the asteroid belt in space. A meteor is an asteroid that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, think shooting stars. A meteorite is a meteor that actually lands on the surface of Earth, think about Russia today.
As for a meteoroid? No one really knows. They're just kind of like smaller asteroids.
A metoriod is floating in space,a metor is falling trough our atmosphere, and a metorite is on the ground.
The difference between asteroid and meteorite is basically the size. Anything more than about 10 m in diameter is called an asteroid.
There is no difference between the name meteor and meteorid and meteorite but the real difference of an asteroid and a meteor is well meteors move really fast around space and an asteroid they just kinda stay there thats why they call it an asteroid field cyndaquil831 is out
An asteroid is a single piece of rock, whereas an asteroid belt is an area that contains millions of individual asteroids.

one is in space and the other is the earth atmophere
Nothing
a meteroid or comet i think

An asteroid is larger than a meteoroid, though the actual size requirement is not defined.
A meteor is the streak of light you see in the night sky from a asteroid or meteroid hitting the atmosphere. It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space. However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.
An asteroid is a relatively small object in space composed primarily of rock and/or metal. An asteroid belt is a region in space around a star that has a higher then normal concentration of asteroids.
