What is a small meteroid that burns up Earth's atmosphere?
A small meteoroid that burns up in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. As it enters the Earth's atmosphere, the friction with the air causes it to heat up and glow, creating a streak of light known as a "shooting star."

It burns up (then it is a meteor) and sometimes crashes on Earth (a meteorite)
What is the difference between an asteroid and a meteroid?
A metoriod is floating in space,a metor is falling trough our atmosphere, and a metorite is on the ground.

What happens to a meteroid when it hits earth's atmosphere?
It burns up. Or if too big to burn completely, it will be a fireball. Do NOT try to catch them with your bate hands.
What effects do meteors have in space?
A meteor is the streak of light you see in the night sky from a asteroid or meteroid hitting the atmosphere. It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space. However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.
What do we call pieces stone that enter the earth's atmosphere?
The actual rock, sand or other material is meteroid. When we can visibly see the path it traces as it burns up in the atmosphere, it is called a meteor. If it survives the atmosphere and does not burn up completely, striking the ground, it is called a meteorite.
