No. meteors are the bits of dust and stone that burn up on entering Earth's atmosphere. Asteroids are larger rocky lumps floating round in space. We hope the larger ones do not meet Earth's atmosphere.
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 physical properties of the meteors are that they are rocky and parts of other asteroids.
There is no such thing as asteroid showers, perhaps you mean meteor showers.
Meteors have hit Earth and meteorites haven't.
First, Apophis as an asteroid, not a meteor. A meteor is an object that has entered the atmosphere. Apophis is probably gray in color.
scientific understanding of comets,asteroids,and meteor
Meteors are smaller fragments of asteroids or comets that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, causing a bright streak of light. Asteroids are larger rocky objects that orbit the sun. In general, asteroids are bigger than meteors.

Sometimes. We call them "asteroids" when we see them floating in space. Occasionally, one of them (or a piece of one) will collide with the Earth's atmosphere, and it will burn up as a meteor.

Most Asteroids are made of Carbon-based rock. Some though are made of iron and nickel.

Numerous asteroids are in constant motion around the earth, infinitely tracing their orbits. Occasionally some will collide or break down and fall as bits of meteor to Earth.
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.
