Everywhere. Meteoroids are space rocks and dust, falling through space in orbit around the Sun under the influence of gravity.
There isn't any formal distinction between "meteoroid" and "asteroid", but in general if it's big enough to see in space before it strikes the Earth, it's an asteroid. If it's too small to see before it becomes a meteor while burning up in the atmosphere, it was a meteoroid.
The Earth is hit by many thousands of meteoroids every day, which vary in size from softball-sized down to dust. The "average" size is probably about the size of a grain of rice. Larger objects are less common; the meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia last year was probably about the size of a city bus, but there are only a few that size per decade. (Actually, they are so rare that it's difficult to calculate their probability of impact.)

∙ 11y agoThe meteoroids are mostly found orbiting the Sun in the asteroid belt (they are small asteroids, up to 10 meters across).
The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Why is it the meteors is the part of the solar system?
the meteorites are part of the solar system because they are in the asteroid belt an the asteroid belt is in the solar system

What are the objects in our solar system?
The smallest objects - are meteors. Most of them are smaller than a Basketball.
Most meteors that strike earth's atmosphere come primarily from which two classes of objects located in the solar system?
Comets and asteroids. I don't think it's what the question is getting at, but there's a third possibility. There are small dust particles left over from the formation of the solar system. These cause a lot of "sporadic meteors", not the "showers" associated with particular comets.
