An asteroid is a small, rocky body orbiting the Sun. A comet is a ball of ice and dust which spends most of its time far out on the edges of the solar system, but occasionally approaches near to the Sun, when parts of it vaporize, giving rise to the famous 'tail'. Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are basically the same thing. Meteoroids are rocks, smaller than the asteroids, which orbit the Sun. If the Earth in its orbit encounters one and it falls through our atmosphere, it gets very hot and leaves a glowing trail in the sky. This is a meteor (sometimes, inaccurately, called a shooting star or falling star). Most meteors burn up in this process, but some are big enough that their remains hit the ground. These are meteorites.
From your list the only things that actually exist are:
Meteors - small particles of dust that burn up in the atmosphere ("shooting stars")
Meteorites - bodies that landed on Earth after burning in the atmosphere.
Asteroids - small rocky bodies orbiting in the Solar System. Most of them are concentrated between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
No. A meteor is an object from space that is falling through earth's atmosphere. An Asteroid is a large object composed primarily or rock and/or metal in space. An asteroid that is falling through the atmosphere could be considered a meteor.
An asteroid is a small body of frozen gasses rock and debris left over the from the creation of the Solar System. There are 100s of thousands of asteroids. Some are large enough to be seen from Earth with telescopes.
A comet is a frozen ball of gas and debris that orbits close to the Sun. They can take a long time to orbit the sun. Halley's Comet, the most famous takes just over 75 years to orbit the sun.
Meteoroids are small bits of dust and dirt in space, some of which come from comets. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere, they burn up and they are seen as meteors flying through the night sky. If they survive and land on the surface, they are meteorites..
Their definitions overlap a lot, but to keep it simple, meteoroid small, asteroid big.
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt, which contains the bulk of the solar system's asteroids. Where there are asteroids the are undoubtedly meteoroids.
In theory asteroids and meteorites are made of the same basic elements; it's just that asteroids are much much bigger than meteorites. Asteroid are bigger in size an meteroites are reletively smaller than asteroids in my opinion, but meteroites can be very big to, but most of them are usually small and have no effect.

The main difference between an asteroid and a meteoroid is size. Asteroids are larger objects, typically measuring more than 10 meters in diameter, while meteoroids are smaller, ranging from a few meters down to dust-sized particles. Additionally, asteroids are usually found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while meteoroids can be found in various places, including the asteroid belt, as well as comets or other sources.

Asteroids are "large" lumps of rock whereas meteoroids are small particles, either grains of dust or boulder sized lumps of material.

A meteor is a "shooting star" -- a piece of space rock that enters Earth's atmosphere. If part of it reaches the surface, it is called a meteorite.While out in space, mostly orbiting the Sun, the same type of rock is called a meteoroid. However, the larger chunks of rock and ice are called asteroids.
The meteor is the streak of light in the sky; the meteorite is the rock that caused it.
A meteorite is a natural object originating in outer space that survives impact with the Earth's surface. A meteorite's size can range from small to extremely large. Most meteorites come from small astronomical objects called meteoroids, but they are also sometimes produced by impacts of asteroids.
Comets : mostly ice & are often in very distant elliptical orbits. Meteoroids and asteroids are usually rocky and/or metallic, asteroids are found in the asteroid belt (between Mars & Jupiter).

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids can come from various sources, but the options are limited by your question. Assuming you're asking about sources that are not typical for meteoroids, the answer would be: Planets: Planets are not a source of meteoroids. Meteoroids are usually fragments of comets or asteroids. They can also be generated from collisions between larger bodies in space. Planets are much larger objects and don't typically break apart to become meteoroids. The common sources of meteoroids are comets and asteroids. When comets get close to the Sun, they release dust and gas, creating a debris trail. If Earth passes through this trail, the debris can enter our atmosphere and create meteor showers. Similarly, asteroids can collide or break apart due to various factors, leading to the creation of meteoroids.
Moons always orbit planets unlike meteorites which orbit stars.
