What term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth and atmosphere?
The term that specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth's atmosphere is "meteoroids." When these meteoroids enter the atmosphere and create a bright streak of light, they are referred to as "meteors." If they survive their passage through the atmosphere and land on Earth, they are then called "meteorites."
What are small chunks of iron and rock that travel through space?
Small chunks of iron and rock that travel through space are known as meteoroids. These objects can vary in size from tiny grains to larger boulders and are often remnants from comets, asteroids, or the early solar system. When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and produce a bright streak of light, they are referred to as meteors, and if they survive the descent and land on Earth's surface, they are called meteorites.

What is the difference between asteroid's meteoroids and meteorites?

Why is it dangerous for a spacecraft collide with asteroid in space?

What resembles large chunks of rock and debris?
Asteroids and meteoroids are large chunks of rock and debris that resemble large chunks of rock in space. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere, they are called meteors or meteorites depending on whether they burn up or make contact with the surface.
What kind of material are asteroids formed from?

The emptiness of space is made of nothing -- absolutely nothing. There are various particles, chunks of rock, dust and gases, but they are made of matter. The space itself is just space. Lots and lots of space.
Which terms describe space objects that are small chunks of rock and debris that are smaller than 1 km?
They are referred to as asteroids.
What term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids are the small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth's atmosphere. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere and create a streak of light, they are referred to as meteors. If a meteor survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.
