A chunk of rock or dust floating through space is called a meteoroid. It moves around the Solar System and becomes a meteor if it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
A meteoroid.

A chunk of rock from space that has entered Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. When it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction, it creates a bright streak of light known as a meteor shower or "shooting star." If it survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then referred to as a meteorite. These objects can originate from asteroids, comets, or even the Moon and Mars.
An object composed of dust, ice, and rock which orbits the Sun is called a comet.
An example of matter moving through space could be a comet. Comets are celestial bodies composed of ice, dust, and rock that orbit the sun in elliptical trajectories. As they move through space, they can create beautiful tails of gas and dust due to the solar wind.

"Meteoroid". If it actually hits the Earth's atmosphere, the streak of light will be a "meteor", and if the object survives to impact the Earth's surface then we call the remains a "meteorite".
They are all the same thing essentially -- it's their location that determines what they are called. Meteoroids are in space, they are then called meteors when burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and become meteorites once on the surface of the planet, if any of it survives. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock roaming through space. A meteor is a chunk of rock entering our atmosphere (shooting star). A meteorite is what's left over from the chunk of rock after impact.
Absolutely not. The Sun is not a meteoroid, it is a star. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock and debris travelling through space.
No. An asteroid is just chunk of rock and metal in space. It does not release its own energy.
A meteorite is a meteor that has fell from space and impacted the Earth. A meteoroid has no specific location in the universe. It is a chunk of rock that drifts throughout space.

Meteroids are are from space made of dust , gases , and rock that form together
space object made of all that... it would have to be a comet witch is also composed of many gasses giving it that Illuminati look when you see it. otherwise an asteroid depending on the question.
