∙ 15y agoA meteroid is essentially a small body (about the size of a fist at the largest) and is usually burnt up when it comes in contact with an atmosphere. A space rock (Meteroid, Asteroid or Comet) is always called the same name whether it is out in space or landlocked. Although, if it is big enough, it is called a crater because it makes a hole in the surface of whatever it's hit.
