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.
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.

No. A meteoroid is a sand- to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar System, while asteroids are small Solar System bodies in orbit around the Sun; they are smaller than planets but larger than meteoroids.
Saturn's rings are made of ice, rock and dust. Surely those rocks could break open a space suit and can kill the wearer of said space suit. But we don't know for sure, because we can't travel that far in space yet.
Well we don't know how big it can be because its a vast Universe so I hope this will answer it. Meteoroid can be as small as dust or as big as Everest so there no way of telling how big it can be

The space rock is the celestial space object that a meteoroid comes from.
No, meteoroids do not have atmospheres. They are small rocky or metallic bodies that travel through space. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it becomes a meteor due to the friction and vaporization caused by its high-speed entry.

A small space?
Well, when it comes to meteoroids, you never know all there is to know about them but it's possible that some meteoroids might contain water trapped within them. Even just a little bit of water can have a big impact in space! Keep exploring those wonders of the universe and you might just find the answer you seek.
It is a small little shack that people live in. i know from reading the book Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse
guys actually soil is nothing but dust particle found all over the world and as well as in the whole universe and moreover we guys know that the asteriod belt is made up of asteriods and dust particles . so probably from the above example we conclude that soil(dust particles)is found even in space .

It was obviously nowhere near where I live because I did not even know about it! Nowadays, in a typical year, the earth is hit by approx 15000 tonnes of meteoroids, micrometeoroids and other objects from space.
