A chunk of matter that enters earths atmosphere and is heated by friction with the air?
A meteor. Technically, a "meteor" is the flash of light itself. Once the rock hits the Earth's surface (IF it survives) it is called a "meteorite".
What is a chunk of rock or dust in space that usually comes from a comet or an asteroid is?
"Meteoroid". If it actually hits the Earth's atmosphere, the streak of light will be a "meteor", and if the object survives to impact the Earth's surface then we call the remains a "meteorite".
What are the similarities between a meteor and Meteorite?
A meteorOID is a space rock floating around in space. It actually isn't "floating" - it's falling around the Sun in orbit, under the influence of gravity. When the meteorOID comes too close to the Earth, it falls into the Earth's gravity well and hits our atmosphere. The meteoroid heats up with friction, and the compressive heating of running into the wall of air, and begins to glow; it becomes a METEOR, which is the bright streak of light itself. If the space rock survives its fall through the atmosphere and strikes the Earth, the rock - or more likely, the fragments of the rock - that are sitting on the ground are called meteorITES.

What is a meteroroid called when it hits earth?
A meteoroid is called a meteor when it enters Earth's atmosphere and creates a streak of light in the sky due to the heat generated by friction. If any part of the meteoroid survives the journey and hits the ground, it is then considered a meteorite.
