Meteroids are large clumps of rock or ice that are found in space. A meteroid becomes a meteor when it enters Earth's atmosphere. It moves so fast that a tail like figure appears to follow the meteor. This is known as a shooting star. During this stage, the meteor normally breaks down into smaller clumps. As soon as the meteor makes impact with earth, it is classified as a meteorite.
