A small piece of an asteroid that has broken off in outer space is called a meteoroid. When this meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with air particles, it creates a streak of light called a meteor or shooting star.
Asteroids can vary widely in size, from just a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. A pebble-sized asteroid is certainly possible, and such small objects are known as meteoroids. These small asteroids or meteoroids often burn up in Earth's atmosphere, creating shooting stars.
The term asteroid was used for the TV movie appropriately called "Asteroid" (1997).Both the Bruce Willis movie "Armageddon" (1998) and the earlier, critically-panned "Meteor" (1970) used the term meteor(technically meteoroid) but both objects were asteroid-sized.The Tea Leoni movie "Deep Impact" (1998), and the TV movie "A Fire in The Sky" (Richard Crenna, 1978) had comets hitting the Earth.
The main difference between an asteroid and a meteoroid is size. Asteroids are larger objects, typically measuring more than 10 meters in diameter, while meteoroids are smaller, ranging from a few meters down to dust-sized particles. Additionally, asteroids are usually found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while meteoroids can be found in various places, including the asteroid belt, as well as comets or other sources.
There are sand-sized rock fragments in the solar system, but when they get to that size they are not considered asteroids. They are called meteoroids.
A Meteoroid if the chunk is boulder sized or smaller, or just another Asteroid if it is house-sized or bigger.
A Meteoroid if the chunk is boulder sized or smaller, or just another Asteroid if it is house-sized or bigger.
This description matches that of an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun and are generally smaller than planets. They can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or in other regions of the solar system.

Mars actually has 2 asteroid-sized moons Deimos and Phobos. Does that answer your question?
