By definition, a meteor is in the earth's atmosphere. Before it hits the atmosphere it's called a meteoroid, and after it hits the ground it's called a meteorite.

inner solar system
Jupiter is essential to the balance of our solar system. It also protects Earth from meteor impacts, which is why life has been able to flourish.
Probably when the Earth and the solar system were very young, and the solar system was still full of stray junk. In the 4 billion years since, the majority of the stuff in the inner solar system has already crashed into the Sun, Jupiter, or the Earth, or the Moon, or been thrown out of the solar system.
Meteorites have probably hit every other object in the solar system.
We believe that most meteor showers are caused by decaying comets shedding dust and rocks in their wake as they travel through the solar system.
As far as I know, this is mainly determined by radioactive dating methods. If a rock is found (for example, from a meteor) that has a certain age according to such dating methods, then it follows that the Solar System is at least as old (assuming the rock was part of the Solar System to begin with).
