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.
meteors are more of a smaller type of space rock that runs through the asteroid belt and other places and rings in our solar system and galaxy.astroids are the biggest and most massive space rocks in the universe that can make collisions and impacts 100 times bigger than meteors they sometimes are bigger than planets.
Meteors burn up in the Mesosphere because of friction between the meteors and the molecules located here. The mesosphere is the coldest part of the Earth's atmosphere.
Meteors are objects that fly into earth's atmosphere and burn; sometimes they burn up completely and sometimes they land on the ground (or water). The Moon does not and hopefully never will hit the earth's atmosphere. The Moon is a satellite of Earth; that is to say it orbits around the Earth. Meteors are not satellites; they just fly in from wherever.
Meteors are not that important, meteorites might be.
First off, shooting stars aren`t actually stars. They`re actually pieces of space rock called meteors. When meteors enter Earth`s atmosphere, they burn up, producing bright lights as they move through the sky. That is, if it`s night. If it`s day, then you can`t see them light up. Meteors are so fast that people say they`re faster than a speeding bullet, hence the name ''shooting'' star.
Meteors are made up of rocks and ice and dust from space where as shooting stars are falling stars.
Comets are flying bits of rock that don't enter the earth's atmosphere and meteors are flying bits of iron stone or stony iron. Also meteors do enter the earth's atmosphere.

This can vary a lot between different meteors; the main classification, if I remember correctly, is between "ice meteors" that are made up mainly of ice, and "rock meteors", out of rocky materials.
a comet is frozen water [ice] its revolution is different and it is brighter in the sky my science teacher asked the same question
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
Meteors come from leftover debris of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter .

They fly around in space.
The answer is meteors
