Not exactly. If small lumps of rock stay out in space, they are asteroids. If they enter the earth's atmosphere they are meteors.
Meteors are pieces of asteroids or whole asteroids in the earths atmosphere only. Written By, Brainiocity
Asteroids.
Superstitions about asteroids, comets, and meteors have absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever.
The universe
The physical properties of the meteors are that they are rocky and parts of other asteroids.
The atmosphere protects the inner planets the same way as for meteors.
Meteors, or asteroids.
your gayhigo away
Meteors come from leftover debris of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter .
Meteors, asteroids, and comets are all objects in space. Meteors are shooting stars that enter Earth's atmosphere, asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun mostly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and comets are icy objects that orbit the Sun in more elongated paths. While they all originate from space, their composition and behavior can vary significantly.
I think they're simply called asteroids if that's what you're asking. You may be thinking of meteors though. Meteors when they're in space. Meteorites when they fall to Earth.
asteroids im pretty sure....
