An asteroid is a rocky object in space that's not as big as a planet and isn't a moon. There are millions of them, think the asteroid belt in space. A meteor is an asteroid that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, think shooting stars. A meteorite is a meteor that actually lands on the surface of Earth, think about Russia today.
As for a meteoroid? No one really knows. They're just kind of like smaller asteroids.
A metoriod is floating in space,a metor is falling trough our atmosphere, and a metorite is on the ground.
The difference between asteroid and meteorite is basically the size. Anything more than about 10 m in diameter is called an asteroid.
An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the sun, while an asteroid belt is a region in our solar system located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where many asteroids are found. The asteroid belt is like a "belt" of smaller objects orbiting the sun, with the largest asteroid being Ceres.
There is no difference between the name meteor and meteorid and meteorite but the real difference of an asteroid and a meteor is well meteors move really fast around space and an asteroid they just kinda stay there thats why they call it an asteroid field cyndaquil831 is out
An asteroid is a heavenly body which has its own orbit, between mars and jupiter, and revolve around the sun. It is made up of dust and rock. Meteor is also a heavenly body like asteroid but smaller than that.

An asteroid is larger than a meteoroid, though the actual size requirement is not defined.

A meteor is the streak of light you see in the night sky from a asteroid or meteroid hitting the atmosphere. It is not considered a "meteor" until it enters the earth's atmosphere - therefore you can't really have a meteor in space. However, if you are talking an asteroid or meteroid then they are just rocks floating in space - not really a big deal unless one hits us or hits one of our satellites or spacecraft.

No, a meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space that does not have an atmosphere. It is typically smaller than an asteroid and can range in size from a grain of sand to a small rock.

Meteroid orbits are random. Much like a comet.
