The word meteor is used to define the time when a meteoroid (something in space) enters the Earth's atmosphere and is seen there as a fiery streak. If something of it survives passage through the atmosphere to land on the ground, this bit is called a meteorite.

Therefore all meteors (being in Earth's atmosphere) are 149.60 million kilometers (92.96 million miles) from the Sun.

Do meteors ever strike the sun?

Yes, meteors can strike the sun, but they most likely burn up in the sun's intense heat and radiation before reaching its surface. The sun's strong gravitational pull can also deflect or capture incoming meteors.

How do comets differ in meteors?

Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they orbit the Sun, forming a tail. They often have highly elliptical orbits that can take them far from the Sun. Meteors, on the other hand, are small rocky or metallic debris that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, creating streaks of light in the sky.

Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are small particles that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up as they frictionally interact with the air. They come from the debris left behind by comets or asteroids orbiting the Sun.
