Small fragments that have entered the Earth's atmosphere and fallen to the surface are called meteorites. They can originate from asteroids, comets, or other celestial bodies and can vary in size from tiny dust particles to large rocks. Studying meteorites can provide insights into the composition and history of our solar system.
Pieces of rock that actually strike Earth's surface are called meteorites. When these fragments of asteroids or comets survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface, they are termed meteorites.
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.
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.

Location is the difference.Meteoroid is in spaceMeteor has entered the earths atmosphere and can possibly be seen by it's fire/smoke trailMeteorite- has reached the surface of the earth intact.
