Comets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun. They are composed of ice and dust.
A meteor is an object (perhaps a comet or a piece of one) that has struck the atmosphere and become superheated so that it leaves a fiery trail. When it has struck the ground, it is a meteorite.
Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.
Meteroids or comets can impact on a planet.
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
Comets are icy bodies made of dust, rock, and frozen gases that orbit the Sun, meteorites are asteroid fragments that have entered Earth's atmosphere and landed on its surface, and asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the Sun primarily in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
Martian meteorites arrive on Earth through the impact of large asteroids or comets on the surface of Mars. These impacts can eject rocks and debris from Mars' surface, some of which eventually make their way to Earth as meteorites. Scientists can study these Martian meteorites to learn more about conditions on Mars and its history.
No, that would be comets.

no.....
meteorites i think
Meteroids or comets can impact on a planet.
Rock debree from other galaxy's
They are all very hot.

A meteorode is a small particle of debris within our solar system. When the meteoroid enters our atmosphere is becomes a meteor. If it then lands on the earth it becomes a meteorite. Comets on the other hand are larger and are associated with a visible tail.

Asteroids and comets are the two space objects that produce meteorites when they enter Earth's atmosphere and survive the descent to reach the surface. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, while comets are composed of ice, dust, and rock.
