Yes. A meteorite is a space rock that has fallen to Earth and survived the heat and pressure of the passage through the atmosphere. Most meteorites are fairly small, because they typically explode in the atmosphere or on impact.
An asteroid is a space rock, typically fairly large, in orbit around the Sun. Many asteroids are in a broad band between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the Asteroid Belt.
Also, some Asteroids are large enough that two of them have been categorized as
Dwarf planets.
Meteorites are rocks that contain metal from space, typically composed of iron and nickel. These meteorites are classified as iron meteorites, stony-iron meteorites, or pallasites based on their metal content and overall composition.
Not sure about "full on earth" but meteoroids which fall to earth are called meteorites.
We know that there are small meteoroids and dust in space because meteorites (meteoroids that survive the atmosphere and land on Earth) exist, and also because we can see meteoroids as meteors (the light coming from a meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere) in the sky.
Meteoroids are rocky or metallic fragments from space that come from comets or asteroids. They can be leftovers from the formation of the solar system and are usually small in size, ranging from dust particles to boulder-sized objects. Many meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere as meteors and may land on the surface as meteorites.
Meteors are the streaks of light produced when meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, while meteorites are the remnants of meteoroids that survive their passage through the atmosphere and land on Earth. Meteoroids, which can come from comets or asteroids, can be found throughout the solar system, including regions near the Sun. The average distance from the Sun to meteoroids varies widely, as they can be located anywhere from close proximity to the Sun to the outer reaches of the solar system. Thus, their distance can range from about 0.39 astronomical units (AU) for those near Mercury to over 30 AU in the Kuiper Belt or beyond.
Meteoroids, Meteors & Meteorites.
Meteorites
Yes. That is what meteorites are.
comets and asteroids
Meteoroids, Meteor, Meteorites 1. Meteoroids- rock fragments travelling in space 2. Meteor- a meteoroid that passes through the Earth's atmosphere and produces a bright flash in the sky 3. Meteorites- meteors that have reached the Earth's surface or the ground

hey the anwser is because the science wrecked it
meteorites
Location. In order, they are in space, in air, or on the ground.

The meteor is the streak of light in the sky; the meteorite is the rock that caused it.
