A meteoroid is the rock left on the ground after a meteor has fallen. How fast the meteor came in will determine the friction of the atmosphere on it, and hence the temperature. A freshly fallen meteoroid would probably be too hot to touch, but freshly fallen ones are almost never the ones found.
Edit: "meteorites" are the things on the ground, "meteoroids" are in space. It's quite likely the questioner has got them mixed up too.
What else can I help you with?
What is the temperature of a meteriod?
The temperature of a meteoroid can vary greatly depending on its distance from the sun and its size. In space, the temperature can be extremely low, near absolute zero. However, when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, friction with air molecules can cause it to heat up rapidly, sometimes reaching temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
