What is a chunk of rock from space that has entered earths atmosphere?
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.

What is the difference between meteorites meteors and meteoroid?
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.
Is the sun the only meteoroid?
Absolutely not. The Sun is not a meteoroid, it is a star. A meteoroid is a chunk of rock and debris travelling through space.
Does a meteor give off its own energy?
No. An asteroid is just chunk of rock and metal in space. It does not release its own energy.
