celestite
An object of dust or rock that burns up in the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. When it enters the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light due to the intense heat generated by friction, it is referred to as a meteor, often colloquially known as a "shooting star." If a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is then classified as a meteorite.
Meteor
When an object from space, such as a comet or asteroid, crosses paths with Earth and enters its atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid." Once it enters the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light due to friction, it is called a "meteor." If it survives the passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then classified as a "meteorite."

A rock that enters Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and heats up, it produces a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If the rock survives its journey through the atmosphere and reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite.
The correct name for a shooting star is a Meteorite. Before a meteorite enters the Earths atmosphere it is called a Meteoroid.
Sometimes it is called a "shooting star" but the stream of light is just the meteoroid burning up and parts of it break off.
A rock that enters Earth's atmosphere is commonly called a meteoroid. As it burns up in the atmosphere and produces a bright streak of light, it is known as a meteor. If any fragments of the rock survive the journey and land on Earth's surface, they are called meteorites.
