A rocky object that travels through space is known as an asteroid. Asteroids are primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can also be found throughout the solar system. They are composed mainly of rock and metal and vary in size from small boulders to objects hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Some asteroids can even come close to Earth, posing potential impact risks.
An asteroid is a small, rocky body that travels through space. They are remnants from the formation of the solar system and most of them orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The object is likely an asteroid, meteoroid, or meteorite. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, meteoroids are smaller rocky objects that travel through space, and meteorites are meteoroids that survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and reach the ground.

"meteorite"
A sand grain to boulder-sized rocky body that travels through space is typically referred to as a "meteoroid." Meteoroids can vary significantly in size, ranging from tiny particles to larger objects, and they originate from asteroids, comets, or other celestial bodies. When they enter a planet's atmosphere and produce a visible streak of light, they are known as meteors, and if they survive their passage to land on the surface, they are called meteorites.
An asteroid is a large rocky object that orbits the sun, while a meteoroid is a smaller rocky object that travels through space. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it is called a meteor.
