Meteorite
When a meteor reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
the small size of the meteoroid will cause it to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere due to friction and intense heat generated during entry. It will disintegrate and turn into small fragments known as meteorites before reaching the Earth's surface.
When a meteoroid is 75 km above earth's surface, it is within the troposphere.

A stone entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to burn up due to friction and heat, it is then called a meteor or shooting star. If any portion of the meteoroid reaches the Earth's surface, it is known as a meteorite.
a meteor that hit Earth without burning up in the mesosphere is called meteoroid
A meteoroid that reaches Earth's surface without completely burning up is called a meteorite. Meteorites are chunks of rock or metal from space that survive their journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface.

When a meteor reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
The stone left by a meteor after it reaches the ground. (Most meteors burn up completely before reching the ground.)
A rock that strikes Earth's surface is known as a meteoroid. Once it enters the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the ground, it is then called a meteorite.

A meteoroid that reaches Earth's surface is called a meteorite. Meteorites are fragments of asteroids or comets that survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface. Scientists study meteorites to learn more about the composition and history of our solar system.
A meteor that strikes the moon's surface is called a meteoroid when it is in space, a meteor when it is burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite once it lands on the moon's or Earth's surface.
After a meteoroid hits Earth, it is called a meteorite. This is when the space rock survives its journey through the atmosphere and reaches the planet's surface.
No, a meteoroid is the solid interplanetary debris before entering Earth's atmosphere. When it enters the atmosphere and heats up, creating a bright streak of light, it is called a meteor. If any part of it survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
