A meteorite is a solid fragment of a meteoroid that survives its passage through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface. Meteoroids originate from asteroids, comets, or other celestial bodies in space. When these objects enter Earth's atmosphere, they create a bright streak of light known as a meteor, commonly referred to as a "shooting star." If they reach the ground, they are classified as meteorites, providing valuable insights into the composition and history of our solar system.

That is a meteorite. It is a solid piece of debris from space that survives its journey through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface. Meteorites can be made of rock, metal, or a combination of both.
You are likely to find a meteorite in a museum collection. Meteorites are fragments of a meteoroid that have survived their passage through the Earth's atmosphere and landed on the Earth's surface. Meteoroids are smaller rocky or metallic objects traveling in space, while meteors are the streaks of light produced when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere.
