What are the differences between comets asteroids and meteorites?
Meteorites are chunks of space rock that fell on earth. They are pieces of rock that can be found on the Earth surface but come from outer space. Asteroids are rocks that travel thru open space, meaning they are pieces of other planets or just boulders flying around in space. If an asteroid (small one) hits earth and is then found by someone then it is an meteorite. A comet is a boulder made of mostly ice that travels thru space at hi speeds and has a defined hyperbola around a star. So Rocks form space on earth are meteorites rocks in space flying around are asteroids and ice traveling realy fast (as a boulder) around a star is a comet.
What was the colour of the apple which fell on sir isaac newton?
The story of the apple has been greatly exaggerated over the years. Newton used an apple as an example when explaining that Earth's gravity pulls the apple down and that same gravity acts on the moon to keep it in orbit around the earth. I don't believe there was an apple that actually fell on Newton.
How is the size of a crater related to the size of a meteorite?
Typically the larger and deeper the dimensions of a crater, the more energy (KE) the meteorite had on impact. This generally means that a meteor was massive enough to breach Earth's atmosphere without loosing significant amounts of material. Thus we can infer that the larger the impact crater the more massive the meteor was. As for the actual dimensions, little inference can be made as mass and size do not always correlate directly.

When can a meteorite enter an alien galaxy?
Never. A "meteorite" is a space rock that fell through the Earth's atmosphere and became a "meteor", and survived the fall to the Earth.

We'll find plenty of space rocks in space, where we don't have to use fuel to lift them back into space from the Earth's surface.
