There is no connection, comets for the most part are large frozen blocks, mostly frozen water and they come from beyond Pluto, meteors are large pieces of rock and metal, and meteorites are meteors that reach our atmosphere and are usually quite small by the time they hit earth

How are comets asteroids and meteorites different?

Asteroids orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planet Mars and the planet Jupiter. Comets orbit the Sun on very elliptical orbits, originating from the Kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Neptune or the Oort cloud at the edges of the solar system. Comets are also usually (but not always) icy bodies that give of gas and dust (a tail) as they approach and get heated by the Sun. Meteorites are bodies that were Asteroids or Comets that have hit the planet Earth and landed on the surface.
