An asteroid is a large chunk of rock and metals in outer space - they may have at one time been a fragment of a moon or planetoid, or formed as an accumulation of loose debris in space.
Due to impacts with other bodies in space, smaller pieces can break off from the asteroid. These pieces are known as meteoroids while they are in outer space, meteors when they leave a visible streak of light as they pass through earth's atmosphere, and meteorites if they remain intact and hit the earth's surface.
