Many asteroids are in a loose distribution in orbit round the sun, (called the asteroid belt) some of them are in perturbed orbits due to them sometimes getting too close, some extremely so. Occasionally these,(sometimes not much more than odd bits of dust) intercept the earth's orbit just as the earth is passing by and fall to earth as "shooting stars". But if a really big one happened to get caught by the earth the result could be wide-scale destruction, and that would be called a rogue asteroid.
