What is like an asteroid but smaller?
A meteoroid is like an asteroid but smaller in size. They are rocky or metallic fragments that are smaller than asteroids and can be found throughout our solar system. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes, it is called a meteor or shooting star.
What is the difference between a meteor and an earth-grazing meteor?
Normal meteors enter the atmosphere at relatively high angles (ie. plunging downwards deep into the atmosphere), while earth grazing meteors enter at low angles, in the most extreme cases only skimming the outer edges where the air is not very dense. Because of this they survive longer, and can cover over 100 degrees of sky in some cases. See "The Meteor Meniscus: Meteor Distance verses Meteor Zenith Angle" on the American Meteor Society's web page for more info.
What is the difference between asteroids and metiorite?
