The space rock is the celestial space object that a meteoroid comes from.
No. An object in space will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction until acted upon by an outside force. There is also no real way of defining a "complete stop" as motion is relative. What is stationary from one perspective might not be from another.

because if you don't go to the vomit comit you will not know how to control your spaceship or your astraunatic devices and you have to know how to call or orbit another object because if anything goes wrong you need to contact another device to come help you
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.

because the meteroid is under your mouth
Most of the space rocks which eventually become meteoroids formed in space about the same time as the rest of the solar system did. Probably the most common meteoroids are remnants of comets; we know that several of the annual "meteor showers" are associated with known cometary orbits. Many meteoroids were fragments broken from asteroids when they have collided. And at least a couple of meteorites which have been discovered here on Earth are known to have come from Mars! Asteroid impacts on Mars have knocked rocks and dust completely off of Mars and into orbit around the Sun, where they have impacted the Earth.

Meteoroids can originate from various celestial objects, including comets, asteroids, or even the debris from planetary collisions. When a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere at high speed, the friction with the air causes it to heat up and emit light, resulting in a phenomenon known as a meteor or "shooting star." This bright streak is often visible for just a few seconds as the meteoroid burns up before potentially reaching the ground as a meteorite.
The average space rock that becomes a meteor is typically a fragment from a comet, or a shard thrown off when two asteroids collide.
The smallest is a meteoroid, which is a small rocky or metallic body in space, typically smaller than an asteroid. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust when they come close to the Sun, while asteroids are larger rocky bodies. Planets are significantly larger celestial bodies that orbit stars.
A meteorite by definition has reached the ground. Mist meteoroids burn up in the Earths atmosphere. Any meteorite would have been bigger as a meteoroid as the outer coating would have been burnt off during entry.
If the object actually makes it to the Earths surface it is called a Meteorite. It does not matter if its man made or from outer space. I know they say a satellite has crashed to earth etc but its is still a meteorite. But the definition of meteorite is an object that has come from space and actually impacted with the planet.
