Hopefully, they burn up on entering our atmosphere, due to friction with the air.
Meteoroids are smaller than both comets and asteroids. They are small rocky or metallic objects that are typically smaller than asteroids and comets, which are large bodies that can range in size from several meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt, which contains the bulk of the solar system's asteroids. Where there are asteroids the are undoubtedly meteoroids.
Meteoroids primarily originate from two sources: asteroids and comets. Most meteoroids are fragments of asteroids, particularly from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, when they approach the Sun, shed debris that can also become meteoroids. Additionally, some meteoroids can originate from the Moon or Mars, where impacts have ejected material into space.
There are asteroids, meteoroids and comets.
Meteoroids are rocky or metallic fragments from space that come from comets or asteroids. They can be leftovers from the formation of the solar system and are usually small in size, ranging from dust particles to boulder-sized objects. Many meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere as meteors and may land on the surface as meteorites.
Asteroids comets and meteoroids all are masses of land sometimes inflamed and usually come from parts of planets hurtling through space.
Usually comets are icy as that is why you see the icy trail, but asteroids can be icy too.

Meteoroids, asteroids and comets.
Meteoroids generally do not pose much of a risk as they are generally small enough to burn up in the atmosphere, and do not reach the surface. Asteroids and comets are larger and can cause potentially catastrophic damage if they strike Earth.
Comets : mostly ice & are often in very distant elliptical orbits. Meteoroids and asteroids are usually rocky and/or metallic, asteroids are found in the asteroid belt (between Mars & Jupiter).
