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.
A meteoroid that reaches the surface of the Earth without completely burning up is known as a meteorite. These are space rocks that survive the intense heat and friction of entering Earth's atmosphere and make impact on the surface. Meteorites can provide valuable scientific insights into the composition and history of our solar system.
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 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.
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.
A meteoroid that reaches Earth's surface without burning up is called a meteorite. These space rocks enter the Earth's atmosphere and may survive the intense heat and pressure during their descent. If they are large enough or composed of materials that withstand the friction of atmospheric entry, they can land on Earth intact. Meteorites provide valuable scientific information about the solar system and the early processes that formed it.
"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite. A meteor is the steak of light we see acrss the sky, which can be part of a comet, a meteoroid, an asteroid, or any other interplanetary debris we may see from earth. However, a meteor is the larger part that can be seen, but not the actual portion that hits the earth. (Source: Astonomy Today, 6th edition by Chassion & McMillan)

A "meteorite" is the word for a meteoroid that impacts Earth's surface.
