A piece of space rock floating through space is a meteoroid. When it hits the atmosphere and glows white-hot with the heat of friction, it is a meteor.
Once it hits the ground, it is a meteorite.

When the rock is floating through space, it is sometimes called a "meteoroid", and a "meteor" is the streak of light caused when a rock penetrates the Earth's atmosphere and is heated to incandescence by friction and compressive heating.

What meteors are called before they visit the earth?
Meteors are called meteoroids before they enter Earth's atmosphere. Meteoroids are small pieces of rock or metal that orbit the Sun. When they enter Earth's atmosphere, they heat up due to friction and create a bright streak of light called a meteor or shooting star. If a meteoroid survives its trip through Earth's atmosphere and hits the ground, it is called a meteorite. There are different types of meteoroids, depending on their size and composition. The smallest meteoroids are called micrometeoroids. They are so small that they burn up completely in Earth's atmosphere and are never seen. Mesometeoroids are larger than micrometeoroids, but they are still too small to survive their trip through Earth's atmosphere. They break up into smaller pieces and burn up in the atmosphere. The largest meteoroids are called asteroids. Asteroids are large enough to survive their trip through Earth's atmosphere and hit the ground. When an asteroid hits the ground, it is called an impact. Impacts can cause a lot of damage, depending on the size of the asteroid. The most famous impact in history is the Chicxulub impact, which occurred 66 million years ago. The Chicxulub impact is thought to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Meteors are a beautiful and fascinating sight. They are a reminder of the vastness of space and the many objects that orbit the Sun.

What do you call a person who metal to metal by heating?
There are several methods for joining metal to metal using heat: Brazing and soldering are used to join two pieces of metal without melting them, by melting a different metal with a lower melting point, and letting it flow between the pieces as a joint. (Brazing is generally done at a higher temperature than soldering.) A person who does this could be called a solderer or a brazer, (but this is not a common term). Welding is used to join two pieces of metal by melting them at the join and sometimes an additional filler piece is added. A person who does this is called a welder.
